Questions  

If n drops of mercury, each charged to a potential V, coalesce to form a single drop, the potential of the big drop will be 

a
Vn2/3
b
Vn1/3
c
Vn1/3
d
Vn2/3

detailed solution

Correct option is D

If Q is the charge on each small drop, charge on the big drop is Q′=nQ.    Now Q′=C′V′=Q=CV. Therefore                     V′V=Q′Q×CC′=nn1/3=n2/3Hence the correct choice is (4).
