Question:

The excess pressure inside a soap bubble of radius $r$ is:

Show Hint

Air bubble in liquid/Liquid drop = $2T/r$; Soap bubble in air = $4T/r$.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Concept
Pressure difference across a curved liquid surface is due to surface tension.
Step 2: Analysis

A soap bubble has two surfaces (inner and outer). Each contributes $2T/r$ to the excess pressure.
Step 3: Conclusion

Total excess pressure $P = 2T/r + 2T/r = 4T/r$.
Final Answer: (B)
