NEET 2013 Physics Thermal Expansion MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

The density of water at 20°C is 998 kg/m³ and at 40°C is 992 kg/m³. The coefficient of volume expansion of water is:

A

3 × 10⁻⁴/°C

B

2 × 10⁻⁴/°C

C

6 × 10⁻⁴/°C

D

10⁻⁴/°C

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The coefficient of volume expansion is calculated using the formula ΔV/V = βΔT. Using the given densities, β is found to be 2 × 10⁻⁴/°C.
