If a big drop of water is broken into smaller drops the surface energy:a. increasesb. decreasec. remain unchangedd. can increase as well as decrease
Answers
Answer:
A. INCREASES.
Explanation:
Surface energy depends upon the surface area of liquid .
As you increase the surface area , surface energy increases and if you decrease the surface area hence does the surface energy.
In the mentioned scenario , if you divide the water drops into further smaller components , the total surface area increases .
This increase in surface area would cause surface energy to increase . But also , it depends on if we wish to calculate the surface energy of small drop only or the surface energy as whole .
In the mentioned question total surface energy has been asked . Therefore , due to increase in surface area, the surface energy increases .
(A.) INCREASES .
