Q103 / 180 · NEET 2019 (All India) · Physics

A copper rod of 88 cm and an aluminum rod of unknown length have their increase in length independent of increase in temperature. The length of aluminum rod is αCu=1.7×10-5 K-1 and αAl=2.2×10-5 K-1 

  • A
    6.8 cm
  • B
    113.9 cm
  • C
    88 cm
  • Correct answer
    D
    68 cm

Solution

Increase in length is independent of temperature,
Lcu αcu=LAl αAl
LAl=88 cm1.7×10-52.2×10-5
=68 cm

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
