Science Bowl Question

📅 MIT Science Bowl 2024🎓 HS🔄 Round 11#️⃣ Question 16🌟 BONUS✍️ Short Answer

A thin, conductive, spherical, and electrically charged soap bubble has an equilibrium radius that depends on the interaction between electrostatic forces, surface tension, and pressure differentials. Identify all of the following three changes that would increase the equilibrium radius of the bubble: 1) Increasing the charge on the bubble 2) Increasing the surface tension of the bubble 3) Decreasing the relative permittivity of the material of the bubble
