Physics-Thermal Expansion

NEET Physics Thermal Expansion Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Hard-Class 11

Assertion (A): The coefficient of volume expansion is approximately three times the coefficient of linear expansion for the same substance. | Reason (R): A cube of side length l will have a fractional volume change that is directly proportional to the square of its linear expansion.

A

Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.

B

Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A.

C

A is true but R is false.

D

A is false.

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

Assertion is true as per the relation αv=3αl\alpha_v = 3 \alpha_l. However, the reason is false because the fractional volume change is proportional to the linear expansion, not its square.
