The electric potential is given by:

[tex]\begin{gathered} V=\frac{Kq}{r} \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

Let's find r first:

[tex]\begin{gathered} r=\frac{Kq}{V}=\frac{8.988\times10^9\cdot2.42\times10^{-9}}{293.97} \\ r\approx0.074m \end{gathered}[/tex]

Now we can find the radius of the new drop:

[tex]r_t=2(r)=2(0.074)=0.148[/tex]

So:

[tex]\begin{gathered} V=\frac{K(2q)}{r_t}=\frac{8.988\times10^9\cdot2(2.42\times10^{-9})}{(0.148)} \\ V=293.93V \end{gathered}[/tex]
