A bigger drop of liquid is converted into a smaller drop, then ( 
surface tension)
A
energy released during process 
B
energy released during process 
C
the pressure inside the bigger drop 
pressure inside the smaller drop
pressure inside the smaller drop
D
if two drops connected by a pipe, the liquid will flow from smaller drop to bigger drop
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
The free surface of a liquid possesses some potential energy which is known as surface energy. As the surface area increases, the surface energy will increase. That means, to increase the surface area, some external work is required and vice-versa.
Energy released
