If two soap bubbles of different radii are connected by a tube, then
If two soap bubbles of different radii are connected by a tube, then
Options
- Aair flows from bigger bubble to the smaller bubble till sizes become equal
- Bair flows from bigger bubble to the smaller bubble till sizes are interchanged
- Cair flows from smaller bubble to bigger
- Dthere is no flow of air
Correct answer
C. air flows from smaller bubble to bigger
Step-by-step solution
Air flows from smaller bubble to bigger as the pressure in smaller bubble is higher.
Pressure inside a bubble (=P_o+\frac{4 S}{R})
When they are connected using a tube then, as smaller bubbles {due to small radius} has higher pressure, the air flows from smaller bubble to bigger bubble until the smaller bubble vanishes completely.
