Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(128\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(Q =512 q\)

Volume \(_{i}=\) Volume \(_{f}\)

\(512 \times \frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}=\frac{4}{3} \pi R^{3}\)

\(2^{9} r ^{3}= R ^{3}\)

\(R =8 r\)

\(2=\frac{ kq }{ r }\)

\(V =\frac{ kQ }{ R }=\frac{ k 512 q }{8 r }\)

\(V =128\)
