    The potential of a large liquid drop when eight liquid drops are combined is 20 V. Then the potential of each single drop was

    A)  10 V

    B)  7.5 V

    C)  5 V

    D)  2.5 V

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Volume of 8 drops = volume of big drop \[\therefore \] \[\left( \frac{4}{3}\pi {{r}^{3}} \right)\times 8=\frac{4}{3}\pi {{R}^{3}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[2r=R\] ?(i) According to charge conservation 8 q = Q                 ...(ii) Potential of one small drop \[(V)=\frac{q}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}r}\] Similarly, potential of big drop \[(V)=\frac{Q}{4\pi {{\varepsilon }_{0}}R}\] Now,      \[\frac{V}{V}=\frac{q}{Q}\times \frac{R}{r}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{V}{20}=\frac{q}{8q}\times \frac{2r}{r}\]  [from Eqs. (i) and (ii)] \[\therefore \] V = 5 volt
