Detailed Solution

Let q be the charge on the bubble, then  V=Kqa(HereK=14πε0) q=VaK
Let after collapsing, the radius of droplet becomes R, then equating the volume, we have (4πa2)t=43πR3 R=(3a2t)1/3 

Now, potential of droplet will be
V'=kqR

Substituting the values, we have

 V'=(K)(VaK)(3a2t)1/3   or  V'=V(a3t)1/3
