Physics-Thermal Expansion

NEET Physics Thermal Expansion MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-diagram based-Hard-Class 11

Imagine a cube of length ll that expands equally in all directions when its temperature increases by ΔT\Delta T. If the coefficient of linear expansion is αl\alpha_l, which equation correctly represents the change in volume ΔV\Delta V of the cube, assuming Δl\Delta l is small compared to ll?

Question diagram
A

ΔV=3l2Δl\Delta V = 3l^2 \Delta l

B

ΔV=2l2Δl\Delta V = 2l^2 \Delta l

C

ΔV=l2Δl\Delta V = l^2 \Delta l

D

ΔV=4l2Δl\Delta V = 4l^2 \Delta l

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

The NCERT context provides the equation ΔV=3l2Δl\Delta V = 3l^2 \Delta l for the change in volume when a cube expands linearly in all directions.
