NEET 2019 · PhysicsExcess pressurePrevious Year Question

A soap bubble of radius 1 mm is blown from a detergent solution of surface tension 2.5 × 10⁻² N m⁻¹. The pressure inside the bubble equals the pressure at a point Z₀ below the free surface of water in a container. Taking g = 10 m s⁻² and density of water = 10³ kg m⁻³, the value of Z₀ is:

Answer: (C) 1 cm. Excess pressure in a soap bubble = 4T/r = 4 × 2.5×10⁻² / 10⁻³ = 100 Pa.

  1. A.100 cm
  2. B.10 cm
  3. C.1 cm
  4. D.0.5 cm

Correct Answer

(C) 1 cm

Solution & Explanation

Excess pressure in a soap bubble = 4T/r = 4 × 2.5×10⁻² / 10⁻³ = 100 Pa. This equals the hydrostatic gauge pressure ρgZ₀: 100 = 10³ × 10 × Z₀ ⇒ Z₀ = 0.01 m = 1 cm.

PhysA balloon is made of a material of surface tension S and its inflation outlet (from where gas is filled) has small area A. It is filled with a gas of density ρ and takes a spherical shape of radius R. When the gas flows freely out, its radius r changes from R to 0 in time T. If the speed v(r) of gas coming out depends on r as rᵅ and T ∝ Sᵝ Aᵞ Rᵟ ρᵋ, then:PhysIf a soap bubble expands, the pressure inside the bubble:PhysAn electric dipole with dipole moment 5 × 10⁻⁶ C·m is aligned with the direction of a uniform electric field of magnitude 4 × 10⁵ N/C. The dipole is then rotated through an angle of 60° with respect to the electric field. The change in the potential energy of the dipole is:PhysTwo identical charged conducting spheres A and B have their centres separated by a certain distance. Charge on each sphere is q and the force of repulsion between them is F. A third identical uncharged conducting sphere is brought in contact with sphere A first and then with B and finally removed from both. New force of repulsion between spheres A and B (radii negligible vs separation, treated as point charges) is best given as:PhysThe plates of a parallel plate capacitor are separated by d. Two slabs of different dielectric constant K1 and K2 with thickness 3d/8 and d/2 respectively are inserted in the capacitor. Due to this, the capacitance becomes two times larger than when there is nothing between the plates. If K1/K2 = 1.25, the value of K1 is:PhysA sphere of radius R is carved out of a uniform solid sphere of radius 2R (internally tangent, so its centre is at distance R from the big centre). The ratio of the moment of inertia of the small sphere to that of the remaining part, both about the Y-axis through the big sphere's centre, is:PhysThe Sun rotates once in 27 days. If it expanded to twice its present radius (uniform-density sphere, no external influence), its new period would be about:PhysA uniform rod of mass 20 kg and length 5 m leans against a smooth vertical wall, making 60° with the wall; its lower end rests on a rough horizontal floor. The friction force exerted by the floor is: (g = 10 m/s²)
