    A soap bubble of radius \[r\] is blown up to form a bubble of radius \[2r\] under isothermal conditions. If T is the surface tension of soap solution, the energy spent in the blowing

    A)  \[3\pi T{{r}^{2}}\]          

    B)  \[6\pi T{{r}^{2}}\]

    C)  \[12\pi T{{r}^{2}}\]           

    D)  \[24\pi T{{r}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Initially area of soap bubble \[{{A}_{1}}=4\pi {{r}^{2}}\] Under isothermal condition radius becomes 2r, Then,    area   \[{{A}_{2}}=4\pi {{(2r)}^{2}}\] \[=4\pi .4{{r}^{2}}\] \[=16\pi {{r}^{2}}\] Increase in surface area \[\Delta A=2({{A}_{2}}-{{A}_{1}})\] \[=2(16\pi {{r}^{2}}-4\pi {{r}^{2}})\] \[=24\pi {{r}^{2}}\] Energy spent \[W=T\times \Delta A\] \[=T.24\pi {{r}^{2}}\] or \[W=24\pi T{{r}^{2}}\,J\]
