JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 9.2 surface tension

A liquid drop of diameter \(2\) mm breaks into \(512\) droplets. The change in surface energy is \(\alpha \times 10^{-6}\) J. The value of \(\alpha\) is _______. (Take surface tension of liquid \(= 0.08\) N/m)

  1. A \(10\)
  2. B \(7\)
  3. C \(8\)
  4. D \(11\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(7\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the radius of the initial drop be \(R\) and the radius of each small droplet be \(r\). Given diameter \(D = 2\) mm, so \(R = 1\) mm \(= 10^{-3}\) m. By conservation of volume: \(\dfrac{4}{3}\pi R^3 = 512 \times \dfrac{4}{3}\pi r^3\)…
