    The surface tension of a liquid is 5 N/m. If a film is held on a ring of area 0.02 \[{{m}^{2}}\], its total surface energy is about:

    A)  \[2\times {{10}^{-2}}J\]

    B)  \[2.5\times {{10}^{-2}}J\]

    C)  \[2\times {{10}^{-1}}J\]

    D)  \[3\times {{10}^{-1}}J\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Surface energy is related to the surface tension by the relation                 \[U=Td\,A\] Given,   \[T=5\,N/m\]                 \[d\,A=2A=2\times 0.2=0.04\,{{m}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \] \[U=5\times 0.04\]                 \[=0.20\,J\] \[=2\times {{10}^{-1}}J\]
