The surface tension of a soap solution is ' \(\mathrm{T}\) '. Work done in blowing a soap bubble of diameter \(2 \mathrm{~d}\) is

  1. A \(8 \pi d^2 T\)
  2. B \(2 \pi d^2 T\)
  3. C \(4 \pi d^2 T\)
  4. D \(6 \pi d^2 T\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(8 \pi d^2 T\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In this case, work done = increase in surface energy, i.e.
\(\mathrm{W}=\mathrm{T} \Delta \mathrm{A}\)
Key point: In calculation, area of sphere have been multiplied with 2, since there are two surfaces in soap bubble.
\(\begin{aligned} & \therefore \mathrm{W}=\mathrm{T} \times\left[2\left(4 \pi \mathrm{d}^2\right)\right] \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{W}=8 \pi \mathrm{d}^2 \mathrm{~T}\end{aligned}\)
