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 :
- (A)
- (B)
- (C)
- (D)✓ Correct
Answer: (D)
Solution
Volume is conserved when the three bubbles merge: , so . The charge triples to . The potential of a charged bubble is , so Therefore , i.e. the ratio is .
