NEET Physics Thermal Expansion MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Easy-Class 11

A steel rod of initial length 1.0 m is heated from 27°C to 45°C. If the coefficient of linear expansion for steel is 1.2 × 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹, what is the increase in its length?

A

16 × 10⁻⁴ m

B

44 × 10⁻⁴ m

C

92 × 10⁻⁴ m

D

88 × 10⁻⁴ m

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The increase in length, Δl, is given by Δl = αₗ × l × ΔT, where αₗ is the coefficient of linear expansion, l is the initial length, and ΔT is the change in temperature. Substituting the given values, Δl = 1.2 × 10⁻⁵ × 1.0 × 18 = 2.16 × 10⁻⁴ m.
