Two rods A and B of the same metal, but of length 1 m and 2 m respectively, are heated from 0°C to 100°C. Then:

  1. both the rods A and B elongate the same
  2. the rod A elongates more than the rod B
  3. the rod B elongates more than the rod A
  4. the rod A elongates, but the rod B contracts

Answer

the rod B elongates more than the rod A

Reason — The increase in length of a solid rod on heating depends on its original length, temperature and material. Longer the rod, greater is the increase in its length. Since temperature and material are same so greater length rod B (2 m) will elongates more than rod A (1 m).
