Question

What will happen if two soap bubbles of different radii are connected by a tube?

Open in App
Solution

The excess pressure inside the soap bubble is inversely proportional to the radius of the soap bubble. It follows that pressure inside a smaller bubble is greater than that inside a bigger bubble. Thus, if these two bubbles are connected by a tube, air will flow from smaller bubble to bigger bubble and the bigger bubble grows at the expense of the smaller one.
