Consider the following statement: a) When a soap bubble is negatively charged, its radius increases. b) When a soap bubble is negatively charged, its mass increases. Which of the above statement is/are correct?
Consider the following statement: a) When a soap bubble is negatively charged, its radius increases. b) When a soap bubble is negatively charged, its mass increases. Which of the above statement is/are correct? Correct Answer Both a and b are correct
CONCEPT:
Electric Charge
- It is defined as the intrinsic property of certain fundamental particles like electrons, proton, etc, due to which they produce electric and magnetic effects.
- Types of electric charge
- Positive charge: A body having a deficiency of electrons.
- Negative charge: A body having an excess of electrons.
- Properties of electric charge
- Like charges repel and unlike charges attract each other.
- A charge is a scalar quantity.
- A charge is always quantized.
- A charge will always remain conserved.
- A charge is always associated with mass.
- The unit of charge is the coulomb.
⇒ 1 coulomb= charge on 625 × 1016 electrons
EXPLANATION:
- Like charges repel and unlike charges attract each other.
- Due to the repulsion force between the negative charge on the soap bubble, its radius will increase.
- A charge is always associated with mass.
- To produce a negative charge on the soap bubble, some electrons will give to it, which will add some mass to the soap bubble, and its mass increases.
- So both the statements are correct.
- Hence, option 3 is correct.
