The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of how a soap bubble behaves when given a positive charge, we can break down the solution into several steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Soap Bubble**: - A soap bubble is a thin film of liquid (soap solution) that forms a spherical shape due to surface tension. 2. **Applying Charge to the Bubble**: - When a positive charge is given to the soap bubble, this charge distributes uniformly over the surface of the bubble. 3. **Effect of Charge on Charges**: - The positive charges on the surface of the bubble will repel each other due to electrostatic repulsion. This is because like charges repel. 4. **Resulting Forces**: - Each charge on the surface exerts a repulsive force on every other charge. This repulsion acts outwardly, causing the bubble to try to expand. 5. **Change in Radius**: - To counteract the repulsive forces among the charges, the bubble will expand, which means its radius will increase. 6. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, when a soap bubble is given a positive charge, its radius increases. ### Final Answer: The radius of the soap bubble will **increase** when it is given a positive charge. ---
