Definition: Excess Pressure

The difference of pressure between the two sides of a liquid surface (inside and outside a drop or bubble) due to the property of surface tension, which tends to contract the drop or bubble and compress the matter enclosed, is called Excess Pressure.

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Formula: Excess Pressure at Plane Surface

ΔP = 0 (no curvature, no excess pressure)

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Formula: Excess Pressure for a Liquid Drop

For a convex or concave surface and a liquid drop: ΔP = \[\frac {2T}{R}\] (one liquid surface)

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Formula: Excess Pressure For a Bubble in Air

ΔP = \[\frac {4T}{R}\] (two liquid surfaces — inner and outer)

Maharashtra State Board: Class 11

Formula: Excess Pressure For a Bubble in Liquid

ΔP = \[\frac {2T}{R}\] (only one liquid surface)
