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.
