JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 2. Electric potential and capacitance

Three small identical bubbles of water having same charge on each coalesce to form a bigger bubble. Then the ratio of the potentials on one initial bubble and that on the resultant bigger bubble is:

  1. A \( 1:3^{1/3} \)
  2. B \( 1:2^{2/3} \)
  3. C \( 3^{2/3}: 1 \)
  4. D \( 1:3^{2/3} \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \( 1:3^{2/3} \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Using volume conservation \( 3(\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3})=(\frac{4}{3}\pi R^{3}) \) \( R=3^{1/3}r \) \( \frac{V_{i}}{V_{f}}=\frac{\frac{kq}{r}}{\frac{k3q}{R}}=\frac{R}{3r}=\frac{3^{1/3}r}{3r}=\frac{1}{3^{2/3}} \)
