To solve this problem, we need to find the potential of the bigger drop formed by the combination of 27 smaller drops.Given:• Each small drop is charged at V.• Total number of small drops Let's denote:• V as the potential of each small drop.• as the potential of the bigger drop.• as the radius of each small drop.• as the radius of the bigger drop.The volume of a single small drop is The total volume of 27 small drops is When these drops combine to form a bigger drop, the volume of the bigger drop is:Simplifying, we find:Taking the cube root of both sides:The potential of a charged sphere is given by where is the charge and is the radius.Since the potential of each small drop is V,the charge on each small drop is The total charge on the bigger drop is Substituting for The potential of the bigger drop is Substituting for and Simplifying: V.Therefore, the potential of the bigger drop is V, which corresponds to Option 4.
