Question

why is it smaller bubbles have more excess pressure?

Open in App

Solution

The net(excess) pressure inside a bubble is
P_net = 4S / r
The bigger the bubble, the lower the pressure! The pressure in an infinitely small bubble will, in principle, be infinitely large. Therefore there are limit to how small a bubble that can be produced.
