Easy Electical potential problem i cant do

[ELHEK]

hey all here's my problem

two spherical drops of mercury have a charge of 1.0nC and a potential of 300V at the surface. the two drops merge to form a single drop. what is the potential at the surface of the new drop?

thx anyone for there help

The problem is not clear. Please give us the actual wording of the problem. Do they have 1.0 nC each? I am not sure what you mean by "a potential of 300V at the surface".

Think about capacitance.
