NEET Physics Bernoulli's Principle MCQ Question
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?
Pressure increases in the wider section.
Pressure decreases in the wider section.
Pressure remains constant throughout.
Pressure is highest in the narrower section.
Correct Answer
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.
