When an air bubble rises in water, what happens to its potential energy? CLASS - XI PHYSICS (Work, Energy and Power)

Answers (1)

When the bubble rises in a fluid the gravitational potential energy increases as the height increases and there is net upward force acting on the bubble.

The pressure on the bubble also increases as the bubble rises above in the fluid this leads to the expansion of the bubble.

The buoyancy potential energy of the bubble decreases as it is dependent on the depth and due to the rise in the bubble above the depth decreases
