Eight identical drops coalesce to form a bigger drop. If the potential of each drop is 220 V, find the potential of the bigger drop.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of finding the potential of a bigger drop formed by the coalescence of eight identical smaller drops, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Problem**: We have eight identical small drops, each with a potential of \( V = 220 \, \text{V} \). When these drops coalesce, they form a single larger drop. 2. **Volume Conservation**: ...
