    The radius \[R\] of the soap bubble is doubled under isothermal condition. If \[T\] be the surface tension of soap bubble, the work done in doing so is given by:                                                                [BHU M-2003]

    A)  \[32\pi {{R}^{2}}\,T\]                    

    B)  \[24\pi {{R}^{2}}\,T\]

    C)  \[8\pi {{R}^{2}}\,T\]                                      

    D)  \[4\pi {{R}^{2}}\,T\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     Key Idea: The surface tension \[(T)\] of a liquid is equal to the work \[(W)\] required to increase the surface area of the liquid film by unity at constant temperature. As per key idea, \[\text{tension=}\frac{\text{work done}}{\text{Surface area}}\] or                            \[T=\frac{W}{\Delta \,A}\] Since, soap bubble has two surfaces and surface area of soap bubble is\[4\pi \,{{R}^{2}}\]. Where \[R\] is radius of bubble. Then      \[W=T\times 2\times 4\pi \,{{R}^{2}}\] Given, \[R=2R\], Therefore \[W=T\times 2\times 4\pi \,{{\left( 2R \right)}^{2}}\]                                 \[W=32\pi \,{{R}^{2}}\,T\]
