Let r be the radius of small drops and big drop R.
kq/r = 1 ….......(1)
1000* 4/3pi r^3 = 4/3piR^3 ….......(2)
potential of big drop = kQ/R
Substitute R in terms of r using eq 2 & find the ans

Hi...
Let there be n
small drops each having a charge q
on it and the radius r, V
be its potential and let the volume of each be denoted by B.
When these n small drops are coalesced there is a new bigger drop formed.
Let the radius of the bigger drop be
R, Q
be charge on it,
V' be its potential and its volume be B'
The volume of the bigger drop must be equal to the sum of volumes of
n
individual drops.
⇒B'=B+B+B+......+B
There are total n small drops therefore the sum of volumes of all the individual drops must be n B.
⇒B'=nB
A drop is spherical in shape. Volume of a sphere is given by 4/3πr^3
where r is its radius.
⇒4/3πR^3=n4/3πr^3
⇒R^3=nr^3
Taking third root on both sides.
⇒R=n^1/3r
Also the charge of the bigger drop must be equal to the sum of charges on the individual drops.
⇒Q=nq
The potential of the bigger drop can be given by
V'=kQ/R
⇒V'=knq / n^1/3r
⇒ V'=n^1−1/3 * kq/ r.
⇒V' = n^2/3 * kq/r
Since,
kq/r represents the potential of small drop which we have symbolized by
V.
Therefore,
V'=n^2/3V
Now we have found a general equation for this case.
In this case there are 1000 identical drops.
⇒V'=1000^2/3 V
⇒V'=10V
This shows that in your case the potential of the bigger drop is
10
times the potential of the smaller drop...
Hope this helps u!!
