Electrostatics Question 656

Question: A soap bubble (surface tension =T ) is charged to a maximum surface density of charge =σ . When it is just going to burst? Its radius R is given by

Options:

A) R=σ28ε0T

B) R=8ε0Tσ2

C) R=σ8ε0T

D) R=8ε0Tσ

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] The pressure due to surface tension =4TR The pressure due to electrostatic forces =σ22ε0 Just before the bubble bursts. 4TR=σ22ε0 or R=8Tε0σ2
