Excess Pressure: Drops & Bubbles

Pressure inside a soap bubble is greater than the pressure outside by an amount: (given: R=R = Radius of bubble, S=S = Surface tension of bubble)

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. A soap bubble has two free surfaces (inner and outer), each giving 2SR\frac{2S}{R}.
  2. Total excess pressure =2SR+2SR=4SR= \frac{2S}{R} + \frac{2S}{R} = \frac{4S}{R}
  3. So the answer is (b) 4SR\frac{4S}{R}.
