In air, a charged soap bubble of radius r is in equilibrium having outside and inside pressures being equal. The charge on the drop is (
permittivity of free space, T = surface tension of soap solution)
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Excess pressure inside the soap bubble is

As the pressure inside and outside is the same, so pressure of the charged bubble is

where σ is the surface charge density of the bubble

Charge on the bubble is
