Energy needed in breaking a drop of radius R into n identical drops of radii r is given by
Options
- A4 π T ( n r 2 − R 2 )
- B4 3 π ( r 3 n − R 2 )
- C4 π T ( R 2 − n r 2 )
- D4 π T ( n r 2 + R 2 )
Correct answer
A. 4 π T ( n r 2 − R 2 )
Step-by-step solution
Energy needed = Increment in surface energy = (surface energy of n small drops) – (surface energy of one big drop) = n 4 π r 2 T − 4 π R 2 T = 4 π T ( n r 2 − R 2 )
