Question

Coefficient of linear expansion generally ............. with the increase in temperature.

• A. increases
• B. decreases
• C. remains the same
• D. doubles itself

Answer 1

The correct option is C remains the same

The coefficient of thermal expansion describes how the size of an object changes with a change in temperature. Specifically, it measures the fractional change in size per degree change in temperature at a constant pressure.

Coefficient of linear expansion generally remains the same with the increase in temperature
