NEET Physics Thermal Expansion MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-diagram based-Easy-Class 11

A cube made of a certain material is heated, causing it to expand equally in all directions. If the initial side length of the cube is ll and the temperature increase is ΔT\Delta T, which expression correctly represents the change in volume ΔV\Delta V of the cube?

Question diagram
A

3l2αlΔTl^2 \alpha_l \Delta T

B

2l2αlΔTl^2 \alpha_l \Delta T

C

l2αlΔTl^2 \alpha_l \Delta T

D

4l2αlΔTl^2 \alpha_l \Delta T

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

For a cube expanding equally in all directions, ΔV=3l2Δl\Delta V = 3l^2 \Delta l, where Δl=αllΔT\Delta l = \alpha_l l \Delta T. Thus, ΔV=3l2αlΔT\Delta V = 3l^2 \alpha_l \Delta T.
