Thermometry & Thermal Expansion

Two uniform brass rods AA and BB of length 'll' and '2l2l' and their radii '2r2r' and 'rr' respectively are heated to same temperature. The ratio of the increase in the volume of rod A\text{rod A} to that of rod B\text{rod B} is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Same material and same ΔT\Delta T, so ΔV∝V\Delta V \propto V.
  2. VA=π(2r)2l=4πr2lV_A = \pi(2r)^2 l = 4\pi r^2 l, VB=πr2(2l)=2πr2lV_B = \pi r^2 (2l) = 2\pi r^2 l
  3. ΔVA:ΔVB=2:1\Delta V_A : \Delta V_B = 2 : 1, answer (c).
