Calculate the work done in blowing a soap bubble of radius 4 cm. The surface tension of the soap solution is 25 × 10-3 N/m.

Answer»

Data : r = 4 cm = 4 × 10-2 m, T = 25 × 10-3 N/m

Initial surface area of soap bubble = 0 

Final surface area of soap bubble = 2 × 4πr2 

Increase in surface area = 2 × 4πr

The work done = surface tension x increase in surface area 

= T × 2 × 4πr2

= 25 × 10-3 × 2 × 4 × 3.142 × (4 × 10-2)2

= 1.005 × 10-3 J

How much work is required to form a bubble of 2 cm radius from the soap solution having surface tension 0.07 N/m.

Answer»

Data : r = 4 cm = 4 × 10-2 m, T = 25 × 10-3 N/m

Initial surface area of soap bubble = 0 

Final surface area of soap bubble = 2 × 4πr2

∴ Increase in surface area = 2 × 4πr2 

The work done

 = surface tension × increase in surface area 

= T × 2 × 4πr2

= 25 × 10-3 × 2 × 4 × 3.142 × (4 × 10-2)2

= 1.005 × 10-3 J

The work done = 0.07 × 8 × 3.142 × (2 × 10-2)2

= 7.038 × 10-4 J

R = Radius

then,

\(\Delta P \propto T \)

\(\Delta P \propto \frac{1}{R} \)

(B) directly to the surface tension and inversely to the bubble size

Which one of the following graphs represent correctly the variation of photoelectric current (i) with the intensity (I) of incident radiations?(1) A (2) B (3) C (4) D

Answer»

Correct option : (2)

Explanation:

With the increase of intensity of incident light, the number of photons striking the emitter surface per unit area per unit time increases. As each photon colliding and emitting one electron, the number of emitted electrons increases with increase in the increase of intensity of light. The graph in option (2) is representing this fact and therefore is the correct answer.

A rectangular loop carrying a current is situated near a long straight wire such that the wire is parallel to one of the sides of the loop and is in the plane of the loop. If a steady current its created in wire as shown in figure below, then the loop will. A. rotate about an axis parallel to the wire B. move towards the wire C. move away from the wire or towards right D. remains stationary

Answer»

For the loop, using Lenz’s Law, the force on the part which is nearer, due to the current in the long wire is attraction and force on the part which is farther is repulsion. 

F (attraction) > F (repulsion) 

Hence loop moves towards the wire.
