The correct answer is:
160
The formula to calculate the potential of each tiny drop is given by
When all the drops forms the bigger drop the radius of the new drop can be calculated as follows:
So, the potential of the new big drop can be written as
Divide equation (2) by equation (1) and simplify to obtain the potential of the new drop.
Substitute the value of the known parameter into equation (3) to calculate the required value of the potential for the new drop.
