A charged droplet splits into two identical smaller droplets.
A spherical conducting liquid droplet of radius \(R\) carries a total charge \(Q\). The droplet splits into two identical, smaller spherical droplets that separate until they are infinitely far apart. What is the ratio \(U_f / U_i\) of the total electrostatic potential energy of the two-droplet system when far apart to the initial electrostatic potential energy of the single droplet?
