Physics-Surface Tension
NEET Physics Surface Tension Assertion Reason Question
Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Easy-Class 11
Assertion (A): The surface tension of a liquid is independent of the area of the surface. | Reason (R): The surface energy is directly proportional to the surface area.
A
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
B
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C
A is true but R is false.
D
A is false.
Correct Answer
Option B
Detailed Explanation
The surface tension of a liquid is a property independent of the area, but surface energy, which depends on surface area, is not directly related to surface tension being independent of area.
