Default The bubble produced/the produced bubble

Dear Teachers:

I produced a bubble in water. Now I want to describe the bubble. Which expression is correct, the bubble produced or the produced bubble?
e.g. The tradeoff with the larger spot size is that the bubbles produced are slightly aspherical.

Your example is perfectly fine. "The produced bubbles" would not work there. Does that help?

:)

One could also say: "the bubbles that are produced".
