When additional air is forced into a soap bubble, the pressure inside it

Options

  1. Adecreases
  2. Bincreases
  3. Cremains unchanged
  4. Dbecomes zero

Correct answer

A. decreases

Step-by-step solution

The pressure inside a soap bubble of radius RR and surface tension TT is given by P=P0+4TRP = P_0 + \dfrac{4T}{R}, where P0P_0 is the atmospheric pressure.

When additional air is forced into the soap bubble, its size increases, meaning its radius RR increases.

Since the excess pressure ΔP=4TR\Delta P = \dfrac{4T}{R} is inversely proportional to the radius, an increase in RR leads to a decrease in the excess pressure.

Therefore, the total pressure inside the soap bubble decreases.
