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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(n^{2 / 3} v\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\[ \begin{aligned} & \text { Hints: } n \times \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3=\frac{4}{3} \pi \mathrm{R}^3 \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{R}=r n^{1 / 3} \\ & \mathrm{C}_0=4 \pi \varepsilon_0 r \\ & q_0=\mathrm{C}_0 \mathrm{~V}=\left(4 \pi \varepsilon_0 r\right) \mathrm{V} \end{aligned} \]…
