NEET 2021 Physics Potential of Combined Drops MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

Twenty seven drops of same size are charged at 220 V each. They combine to form a bigger drop. Calculate the potential of the bigger drop.

A

660 V

B

1320 V

C

1520 V

D

1980 V

Correct Answer

Option D

Detailed Explanation

When drops combine, the volume of the bigger drop is 27 times the volume of one drop. The potential of the bigger drop is given by V = kQ/R, where R is proportional to the cube root of the volume. Thus, the potential increases by 27^(1/3) times, making it 1320 V.
