The correct Answer is:
To find the value of \(\lambda\) in the equation given for the soap bubble, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have a soap bubble with an initial radius \( r \) and surface tension \( T \) that is given a potential \( V \). The relationship between the initial radius and the new radius \( R \) is given by the equation: \[ P_0 [R^3 - r^3] + [\lambda T [R^2 - r^2] - \epsilon_0 V^2 R / 2] = 0 \] where \( P_0 \) is the atmospheric pressure. ### Step 2: Analyze the Internal Pressure For a soap bubble, the internal pressure before expansion can be expressed as: \[ P_1 = P_0 + \frac{4T}{r} \] And after expansion, the internal pressure is: \[ P_2 = P_0 + \frac{4T}{R} + P_e \] where \( P_e \) is the pressure due to the charge on the bubble. ### Step 3: Determine the Electric Pressure The electric pressure \( P_e \) can be expressed in terms of the electric field \( E \). The electric field \( E \) due to a potential \( V \) at a distance \( R \) is given by: \[ E = \frac{V}{R} \] Thus, the electric pressure can be calculated as: \[ P_e = \frac{1}{2} \epsilon_0 E^2 = \frac{1}{2} \epsilon_0 \left(\frac{V}{R}\right)^2 = \frac{\epsilon_0 V^2}{2R^2} \] ### Step 4: Set Up the Equation Now, we can equate the pressures before and after the expansion: \[ P_0 + \frac{4T}{r} = P_0 + \frac{4T}{R} + \frac{\epsilon_0 V^2}{2R^2} \] ### Step 5: Simplify the Equation By cancelling \( P_0 \) from both sides, we get: \[ \frac{4T}{r} = \frac{4T}{R} + \frac{\epsilon_0 V^2}{2R^2} \] ### Step 6: Rearranging Terms Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{4T}{r} - \frac{4T}{R} = \frac{\epsilon_0 V^2}{2R^2} \] ### Step 7: Multiply by \( R^2 \) To eliminate the fractions, multiply through by \( R^2 \): \[ 4T R^2 \left(\frac{1}{r} - \frac{1}{R}\right) = \frac{\epsilon_0 V^2}{2} \] ### Step 8: Factor Out Terms This can be rewritten as: \[ 4T R^2 \left(\frac{R - r}{rR}\right) = \frac{\epsilon_0 V^2}{2} \] ### Step 9: Relate to the Given Equation Now, we can relate this to the original equation given in the problem. The left-hand side corresponds to the term involving \(\lambda\) in the equation: \[ \lambda T (R^2 - r^2) \] ### Step 10: Identify \(\lambda\) By comparing coefficients, we can identify \(\lambda\): \[ \lambda = \frac{8}{r} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \(\lambda\) is: \[ \lambda = \frac{8}{r} \]

To find the value of \(\lambda\) in the equation given for the soap bubble, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We have a soap bubble with an initial radius \( r \) and surface tension \( T \) that is given a potential \( V \). The relationship between the initial radius and the new radius \( R \) is given by the equation: \[ P_0 [R^3 - r^3] + [\lambda T [R^2 - r^2] - \epsilon_0 V^2 R / 2] = 0 \] ...
