    In an experiment, n small drops of same size are charged to V volts each, if they form a single large drop, then it potential is:

    A)  \[V{{n}^{2/3}}\]

    B)  \[V{{n}^{1/3}}\]

    C)  \[\sqrt{Vn}\]

    D)  \[\frac{V}{n}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Here: Number of small drops \[=n\] Charge on each drop = V volt Volume of n drops = Volume of single large drop \[n\times \frac{4}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}}=\frac{4}{3}\pi {{R}^{3}}\] \[R={{n}^{1/3}}r\] The potential on a small drop is \[V=\frac{q}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}r}\] The potential on a large drop is \[=\frac{nq}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}R}=\frac{nq}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}({{n}^{1/3}}r)}\] \[=\frac{q}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}}{{n}^{2/3}}=V{{n}^{2/3}}\]
