Question

Coefficient of linear expansion of brass and steel rods are α1 and α2. Lengths of brass and steel rods are 𝑙1 and 𝑙2 respectively. If (𝑙2 - 𝑙1) is maintained same at all temperatures, which one of the following relationsholds good?

Options

A.

α12l2=α22l1

B.

α1l22 = α2l21

C.

α12l2 = α22l1

D.

α1l1 = α2l2

Solution

Difference in length are same so increase in length are equal
∆l1 =∆ l2
l1α2∆T = l2α2∆T
⇒l1α1 = l2α2
