Two identical drops of water are falling through air with steady velocity $V$. If the two drops coalesce to form a single drop,what is the new terminal velocity of the single drop?

  • A
    $(2)^{1/3} V$
  • B
    $(2)^{3/2} V$
  • C
    $(2)^{2/3} V$
  • D
    $(2)^{1/4} V$

In Millikan's oil drop experiment, a charged drop falls with terminal velocity $V$. If an electric field $E$ is applied in a vertically upward direction, then it starts moving in an upward direction with terminal velocity $2V$. If the magnitude of the electric field is decreased to $E/2$, then the terminal velocity will become
