Physics-Bernoulli's Principle

NEET Physics Bernoulli's Principle MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-diagram based-Easy-Class 11

Consider a diagram of a fluid flowing through a pipe of varying cross-sectional area with different heights. According to Bernoulli's Principle, how does the pressure in the fluid change as it moves from a narrower section to a wider section at the same height?

Question diagram
A

Pressure increases in the wider section.

B

Pressure decreases in the wider section.

C

Pressure remains constant throughout.

D

Pressure is highest in the narrower section.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Bernoulli's Principle states that in a steady flow, the increase in cross-sectional area leads to a decrease in velocity and an increase in pressure, given constant height.
