Two rods of different metals have coefficients of linear expansion ' ₁ ' and ' ₂ ' respectively. Their respective lengths are ' L₁ ' and ' L₂ '. At all temperatures (L₂-L₁ ) is same. The correct relation is
Options
- AL ₁ ₁^2= L ₂ ₂^2
- B~L ₁^2 ₁^2= L ₂^2 ₂^2
- C~L ₁ ₂= L ₂ ₁
- D~L ₁ ₁= L ₂ ₂
Correct answer
D. ~L ₁ ₁= L ₂ ₂
Step-by-step solution
For same change in temperature the change in length is same for both the rods. Change in length L = L T L ₁ ₁ T = L ₂ ₂ T Or L ₁ ₁= L ₂ ₂
