If two soap bubbles of different radii are connected by a tube:

  1. A
    air flows from the bigger bubble to the smaller bubble till the sizes are interchanged.
  2. B
    air flows from bigger bubble to the smaller bubble till the sizes are equal.
  3. C
    air flows from the smaller bubble to the bigger.
  4. D
    there is no flow of air.

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

The excess pressure inside a soap bubble is .Since pressure is inversely proportional to radius, the smaller bubble has higher internal pressure than the bigger bubble.When connected, air flows from higher pressure (smaller bubble) to lower pressure (bigger bubble), making the smaller bubble even smaller and the bigger one bigger.
