Eight drops of mercury of equal radii possessing equal charges combine to form a big drop. Then the capacitance of bigger drop compared to each individual small drop is

a
8 times
b
4 times
c
2 times
d
32 times

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Volume of 8 small drops = Volume of big drop8×43πr3=43πR3⇒R=2rAs capacity is proportional to r, hence capacity becomes 2 times.
