NEET 2019 Physics Linear Expansion MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

A copper rod of 88 cm and an aluminum rod of unknown length have their increase in length independent of increase in temperature. The length of aluminum rod is: (αCu = 1.7 × 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹ and αAl = 2.2 × 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹)

A

88 cm

B

68 cm

C

6.8 cm

D

113.9 cm

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

For equal expansion, L₁α₁ = L₂α₂. Substituting the given values, 88 * 1.7 × 10⁻⁵ = L₂ * 2.2 × 10⁻⁵, solving gives L₂ = 113.9 cm.
