<h2>The increase in length = 1.87 x 10⁻²</h2>
Explanation:
When copper rod is heated , its length increases
The increase in length can be found by the relation
L = L₀ ( 1 + α ΔT )
here L is the increased length and L₀ is the original length
α is the coefficient of linear expansion and ΔT is the increase in temperature .
The increase in length = L - L₀ = L₀ x α ΔT
Substituting all these value
Increase in length = 27.5 x 1.7 x 10⁻⁵ x 35.9
= 1.87 x 10⁻² m
<span>I think that the coefficient of cubical expansion of a substance depends on THE CHANGE IN VOLUME.
Cubical expansion, also known as, volumetric expansion has the following formula:
</span>Δ V = β V₁ ΔT
V₁ = initial volume of the body
ΔT = change in temperature of the body
β = coefficient of volumetric expansion.
β is defined as the <span>increase in volume per unit original volume per Kelvin rise in temperature.
</span>
With the above definition, it is safe to assume that the <span>coefficient of cubical expansion of a substance depends on the change in volume, which also changes in response to the change in temperature. </span>
Answer:
Explanation:
Let the plastic rod extends from - L to + L .
consider a small length of dx on the rod on the positive x axis at distance x . charge on it = λ dx where λ is linear charge density .
It will create a field at point P on y -axis . Distance of point P
= √ x² + .15²
electric field at P due to small charged length
dE = k λ dx x / (x² + .15² )
Its component along Y - axis
= dE cosθ where θ is angle between direction of field dE and y axis
= dE x .15 / √ x² + .15²
= k λ dx .15 / (x² + .15² )³/²
If we consider the same strip along the x axis at the same position on negative x axis , same result will be found . It is to be noted that the component of field in perpendicular to y axis will cancel out each other . Now for electric field due to whole rod at point p , we shall have to integrate the above expression from - L to + L
E = ∫ k λ .15 / (x² + .15² )³/² dx
= k λ x L / .15 √( L² / 4 + .15² )
Gases can be compressed, because they just take up the space surrounding them. The attractive forces between the particles in a gas are very weak, so the particles are free to move in random direction. They just move along until they collide, either with the walls of the container or with each other. Moreover, gases can be compressed because the particles are far apart and they have space to move into.
