In Millikan's oil drop experiment an oil drop carrying a charge $Q$ is held stationary by a potential difference $2400\,V$ between the plates. To keep a drop of half the radius stationary the potential difference had to be made $600\,V$. What is the charge on the second drop

  • A

    $\frac{Q}{4}$

  • B

    $\frac{Q}{2}$

  • C

    $Q$

  • D

    $\frac{{3Q}}{2}$
