JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 9.2 surface tension

Pressure inside a soap bubble is greater than the pressure outside by an amount _______. (given : \(\mathrm{R}=\) Radius of bubble, \(\mathrm{S}=\) Surface tension of bubble)

  1. A \(\frac{4 S}{R}\)
  2. B \(\frac{4 R}{S}\)
  3. C \(\frac{S}{R}\)
  4. D \(\frac{2 S}{R}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\frac{4 S}{R}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

There are two liquid-air surfaces in bubble so \(\Delta \mathrm{P}=2\left(\frac{2 \mathrm{~S}}{\mathrm{R}}\right)=\frac{4 \mathrm{~S}}{\mathrm{R}}\)
