  • question_answer
    A soap bubble of radius r is blown up to form a bubble of radius 2r under isothermal conditions. If T is the surface tension of soap solution, the energy spent in the blowing

    A)  \[3\pi T{{r}^{2}}\]

    B)                         \[6\pi T{{r}^{2}}\]

    C)  \[12\pi T{{r}^{2}}\]        

    D)         \[24\pi T{{r}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Initial area of soap bubble \[{{A}_{1}}=4\pi {{r}^{2}}\] when r charges to \[2r,\] Area            \[{{A}_{2}}=4\pi \,{{(2r)}^{2}}\]                                 \[=16\pi {{r}^{2}}\] Increase in Area \[\Delta A=2\,({{A}_{2}}-{{A}_{1}})\]                                        \[=2\,(16\pi {{r}^{2}}-4\pi {{r}^{2}})\] \[\Delta A=24\,\pi {{r}^{2}}\] Energy spent     \[W=T\times \Delta A\] \[=T\times 24\pi {{r}^{2}}\] \[=24\pi T{{r}^{2}}J.\]
