Question

Thermal expansion only has bad effects.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change its shape, area, volume, and density in response to a change in temperature

Thermal expansion has both good and bad effects on solids.

Bad Effects:

1. Since all the pipes in your home are full of water at any given time, the thermal expansion creates pressure and stress that can cause damage or wear and tear, which is a bad effect.

Good Effects:

1. We know that rivets are a very simple useful tool that is used to hold the steel plates together.
2. The technology here is that the hot rivet is pushed or pivoted through the two plates and then its top is hammered over.
3. And finally when the rivet is in cool position then we get the result that is the two plates are together very tightly.

Hence, the given statement is false.
