AIIMS 2004 Physics Surface Tension Assertion Reason Question
Assertion : Smaller drops of liquid resist deforming forces better than the larger drops.
Reason : Excess pressure inside a drop is directly proportional to its surface area.
Both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion
Both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
Assertion is true but Reason is false
Assertion is false but Reason is true
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
