Which one of the following statement is correct?
- A Surface energy is potential energy per unit length
- B Surface tension is work done per unit area
- C Surface tension is work done per unit length
- D Surface energy is work done per unit force
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Surface tension is work done per unit area
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Surface tension is the force applied per unit length or work done (or energy) per unit area of a liquid surface. While surface energy is the amount of work done per unit area by the force.
