Write relation between $\alpha _l,\,\alpha _A$ and $\alpha _V$.
A bimetallic strip consists of metals $A$ and $B$. It is mounted rigidly as shown. The metal $A$ has higher coefficient of expansion compared to that of metal $B$. When the bimetallic strip is placed in a cold both, it will :
$Assertion :$ In pressure-temperature $(P-T)$ phase diagram of water, the slope of the melting curve is found to be negative.
$Reason :$ Ice contracts on melting to water.
What is volume expansion ? Give definition and unit of coefficient of volume expansion.
The coefficient of apparent expansion of a liquid in a copper vessel is $C$ and in a silver vessel is $ S$. The coefficient of volume expansion of copper is $\gamma_c$. What is the coefficient of linear expansion of silver?
A hole is drilled in a copper sheet. The diameter of the hole is $4.24\; cm$ at $27.0\,^{\circ} C$ What is the change in the diameter of the hole when the sheet is heated to $227\,^{\circ} C ?$ Coefficient of linear expansion of copper $=1.70 \times 10^{-5}\; K ^{-1}$
