If $27$ charged water droplets, each of radius $10^{-3} \,m$ and charge $10^{-12} \,C$ coalesce to form a single big spherical drop, then the potential of the big drop is (in $\,V$)

The concentric spheres of radii $R$ and $r$ have positive charges $q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$ with equal surface charge densities. What is the electric potential at their common centre?

Consider a sphere of radius $R$ with uniform charge density and total charge $Q$. The electrostatic potential distribution inside the sphere is given by $V(r) = \frac{Q}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0} R} \left( a + b(r/R)^c \right)$. Note that the zero of potential is at infinity.
