CBSEENPH11026110

The radius R of the soap bubble is doubled under isothermal condition. If T be the surface tension of soap bubble. The work done in doing so is given by

  • 32 πR2T

  • 24 πR2T

  • 8 πR2T

  • 4 πR2T

Solution

A.

32 πR2T

Surface tension is force per unit length ( or surface energy per unit area) acting in the plane of interface between the plane of the liquid and any other of the substance. 

 Initial surface energyω1 = 2×4π R2 TFinal surface energyω2 = 2×4π 2R R2 T       =32 πR2T

Molecules inside the liquid. Forces on a molecule due to others are shown above.
