  1. Question 1

    Q1. The surface tension of a soap solution is 0.03 N/m. What is the excess pressure inside a soap bubble of radius 0.02 m?

    • A) 6 Pa
    • B) 12 Pa
    • C) 3 Pa
    • D) 1.5 Pa

    Answer: 12 Pa

    Explanation: ΔP = 4T/r = 4 * 0.03 N/m / 0.02 m = 6 Pa; for a soap bubble, the correct formula is used, but the value is for a single surface.
