A thin copper wire of length L increases in length by 1 % , when heated from temperature T₁ to T₂ . What is the percentage change in area when a thin copper plate having dimensions (10 L 2 L) is heated from T₁ to T₂ ?
Options
- A2 %
- B20 %
- C10 %
- D40 %
Correct answer
A. 2 %
Step-by-step solution
aligned & A=10 L 2 L=20 L^2 & A A 100=2 L L 100=2 1=2 % aligned
