Define coefficient of superficial expansion. Write its equation.

Answer»

Solution :(i) The ratio of increase in area of BODY per DEGREE RISE in temperature to its unit area is called as coefficient of superficial EXPANSION .
(ii) Coefficient of superficial expansion is DIFFERENT for different materials.
(iii) The SI unit of Coeffficient of superficial expansion is `K^(-1)`.
`(DeltaA)/(A_(0)) = alpha_(A)DeltaT implies alpha_(A) = (DeltaA)/(DeltaT.A_(0))`
`DeltaA`- Change in area (Final area -initial area)
`A_(0)`-Original area
`DeltaT`-Change in temperature (Final temperature-Initial temperature)
`alpha_(A)`- Coefficient of superficial expansion.
