Question

A soap bubble of radius 15mm has a surface tension of 0.023N/m. What is the excess pressure inside?

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Explanation

Excess pressure in a bubble: ΔP = 4Sr. S = 0.023N/m, r = 15×10−3m. ΔP = 4×0.02315×10−3 = 6.13Pa. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 6 Pa. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option B is scientifically correct.
