If two soap bubbles of different radii are connected by a tube,
-
air flows from the bigger bubble to the smaller bubble till the sizes are interchanged.
-
air flows from bigger bubble to the smaller bubble till the sizes are interchanged
-
air flows from the smaller bubble to the bigger.
-
there is no flow of air.
C.
air flows from the smaller bubble to the bigger.
The excess pressure inside the soap bubble is inversely proportional to the radius of soap bubble i.e. P ∝1/r, r being the radius of the bubble. It follows that pressure inside a smaller bubble is greater than that inside a bigger bubble. Thus, if these two bubbles are connected by a tube, air will flow from smaller bubble to bigger bubble and the bigger bubble grows at the expense of the smaller one.
