                            If the radius of a spherical liquid (of surface tension S) drop increases from r to\[r+\Delta r\], the corresponding increase in the surface energy is:

    A) \[8\pi r\Delta S\]             

    B) \[4\pi r\Delta rS\]

    C) \[16\pi r\Delta rS\]                      

    D) \[2\pi r\Delta rS\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Change in surface energy \[\Delta \,E=\left[ 4\,\pi \,{{(r+\Delta r)}^{2}}-4\pi {{r}^{2}} \right]S\] \[=\left[ 4\,\pi \,{{(\Delta r)}^{2}}-8\Delta \pi r \right]S\] Ar is too small, \[{{(\Delta r)}^{2}}\]is still smaller and can be neglected increase in surface energy = \[8\pi r\Delta rS\]
