Linear expansion coefficient α = 2×10⁻⁵/°C. Length increase for 1 m rod heated 50°C: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Linear expansion coefficient α = 2×10⁻⁵/°C. Length increase for 1 m rod heated 50°C:
A. 0.1 mm
B. 1 mm
C. 10 mm
D. 0.01 mm
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
ΔL = L₀αΔT = 1×2×10⁻⁵×50 = 100×10⁻⁵ = 10⁻³ m = 1 mm. Direct expansion formula application. Memory tip: 'ΔL = LαΔT; convert result to required units'. Tests thermal expansion calculation with unit conversion, frequently appearing in competitive exams.

Question #3 Report Error
Which thermodynamic process occurs at a constant volume?
A. Isobaric process
B. Adiabatic process
C. Isochoric process
D. Isothermal process

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
An isochoric process is a thermodynamic process in which the volume of the closed system remains constant (delta V = 0). Because there is no change in volume, the system does zero pressure-volume work (W = Pdelta V = 0). According to the first law of thermodynamics, any heat added goes entirely into increasing the internal energy. Isobaric is constant pressure; isothermal is constant temperature.
