    Let the charge of on each drop be q and radius of each drop be r.

      k q r = 2

    When all drops are joined, radius,

    r ' = ( 5 1 2 ) 1 3 r = 8 r

    Potential of the new drop,

    V = k . 5 1 2 q 8 r = 6 4 k q r = 1 2 8 V

Charge on C1 = CV

            Charge on C2 = 4CV

When connected in parallel

V C = 5 V 3  

Q ' 1 = 5 3 C V Q ' 2 = 1 0 3 C V

? E = 1 2 C V 2

E ' = 2 5 1 8 C V 2 + 2 5 9 C V 2  

2 5 6 C V 2 = 5 0 E 6

x = 50
