    What is the potential energy of the soap film formed on a frame of area\[4\times {{10}^{-3}}{{m}^{2}}\]? If the area of the film is reduced by half, the change in its potential energy will be (Surface tension of the soap solution is\[{{10}^{-3}}N/m\])

    A)  \[32\times {{10}^{-5}}J,\text{ }16\times {{10}^{-5}}J\]

    B)  \[16\times {{10}^{-5}}J\text{ }8\times {{10}^{-5}}J\]

    C)  \[48\times {{10}^{-5}}J,\text{ }12\times {{10}^{-5}}J,\]

    D)  \[36\times {{10}^{-5}}J\text{ }2\times {{10}^{-5}}J\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

     Potential energy of the film \[=2TA\] \[=2\times 40\times {{10}^{-3}}\times 4\times {{10}^{-3}}\] \[=32\times {{10}^{-5}}J\] Change in potential energy \[=2T\Delta \text{ }A\] \[=2\times 40\times {{10}^{-3}}[4\times {{10}^{-3}}-2\times {{10}^{-3}}]\] \[=16\times {{10}^{-5}}J\]
