Q133 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2024 (11 May Shift 1) · Physics

A big liquid drop splits into ' $n$ ' similar small drops under isothermal conditions, then in this process

A
volume decreases
B
total surface area decreases
Correct answer
C
energy is absorbed
D
energy is liberated

Solution

As, surface energy $\propto$ Surface area $\therefore$ During spliting of a big liquid drop, $\Rightarrow$ Surface area increases Energy absorbed.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
