What is meant by surface energy? Give the expression for surface energy.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The additional energy associated with the surface of liquids is known as surface energy S.E- (surface tension) (increase in the area) ie, S.E `=T (A_(2) -A_(1))`
Note: Energy is absorbed when `A_(2) gt A_(1)`.
