l′=l(1+αΔT)⇒l′−l=l×ΔT⇒Δll=αΔT=2×10−5×100=2×10−3 % change in length = Δll×100=2×10−3×100=0.2%
What is the percentage change in length of 1m iron rod if the temperature change by 100∘C (Assume coefficient of linear expansion, α=2×10−5∘C−1)
An Iron rod and a copper rod lie side by side. As the temperature is changed, the difference in the lengths of the rods remains constant at a value of 10 cm. Find the lengths at 0∘C. Coefficients of linear expansion of iron and copper are 1.1 × 10−6/∘C and 1.7 × 10−5/∘C respectively.
