Eight drops of mercury of equal radii and each possessing the same charge combine to form a big drop. The capacitance of this big drop as compared to that of each smaller drop is-
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
Volume of 8 small drops = Volume of big drop
As capacity is proportional to r, hence capacity becomes 2 times.
