  • question_answer
    A frame made of metallic wire enclosing a surface area A is covered with a soap film. If the area of the frame of metallic wire is reduced by 50%, the energy of the soap film will be changed by

    A)  100%

    B)  75%

    C)  50%          

    D)  25%

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Surface energy = surface tension \[\times \] surface area \[E=T\times 2A\] New surface energy, \[{{E}_{1}}=T\times 2\left( \frac{A}{2} \right)=T\times A\] % decrease in surface energy \[=\frac{E-{{E}_{1}}}{E}\times 100\] \[=\frac{2TA-TA}{2TA}\times 100\] \[=50%\]
