An isolated charged soap bubble of radius R0 = 4.25 cm has a potential of V0 = 323.0 V at its surface. If the bubble shrinks to a radius that is 43.0% of the initial radius, by how much ΔU does its electrostatic potential energy change? ΔU = J Assume that the charge on the bubble is spread evenly over the surface, and that the total charge on the bubble remains constant. Use k = 8.99×109 N⋅m2/C2 for the Coulomb force constant.

If the bubble shrinks to a radius that is 43.0 % of the initial radius, by how much Δ U does its electrostatic potential energy change?
Δ U = J
Assume that the charge on the bubble is spread evenly over the surface, and that the total charge on the bubble remains constant. Use k = 8.99 × 10 9 N m 2 / C 2 for the Coulomb force constant.
