A water film is formed between the two straight parallel wires, each of length \(10~\text{cm}\), kept at a separation of \(0.5~\text{cm}.\)Now, the separation between them is increased by \(1~\text{mm}\) without breaking the water film. The work done for this is
(surface tension of water =\(7.2\times 10^{-2}~\text{N/m}\))
1. \(7.22\times 10^{-6}~\text{J}\)
2. \(1.44\times 10^{-5}~\text{J}\)
3. \(2.88\times 10^{-5}~\text{J}\)
4. \(5.76\times 10^{-5}~\text{J}\)
