216 charged droplets, each of radius r and charge q, are combined to form a big drop. The ratio of potential of the big drop to the small droplet will be :

  1. A 216 :1
  2. B 49 : 1
  3. C 36 : 1
  4. D 7 : 1
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 36 : 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(R = N^{1/3}r = (216)^{1/3}r = 6r\) \(Q = Nq = 216q\) \(\frac{V_b}{V_s} = \frac{kQ/R}{kq/r} = \frac{Q}{R} \cdot \frac{r}{q}\) \(\frac{V_b}{V_s} = \frac{Nq}{N^{1/3}r} \cdot \frac{r}{q} = N^{2/3}\) \(\frac{V_b}{V_s} = (216)^{2/3} = 6^2 = 36\) Ratio = \(36:1\)
