Question #1
Linear expansion coefficient α = 2×10⁻⁵/°C. Length increase for 1 m rod heated 50°C:
A. 10 mm
B. 1 mm
C. 0.1 mm
D. 0.01 mm

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
ΔL = L₀αΔT = 1×2×10⁻⁵×50 = 100×10⁻⁵ = 10⁻³ m = 1 mm. Direct expansion formula application. Memory tip: 'ΔL = LαΔT; convert result to required units'. Tests thermal expansion calculation with unit conversion, frequently appearing in competitive exams.

Question #2
The resistance of a wire is R. If its length is doubled and area is halved, the new resistance is
A. R
B. R/2
C. 2R
D. 4R

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
R ∝ L/A. New L'=2L, A'=A/2 => R' = ρ(2L)/(A/2) = 4ρL/A = 4R. Alternatively, volume constant? Not given, here both changed independently. So 4R.
