Question
For a given heat in liquid, the apparent expansion is more than that of real expansion.
Options
True
False
Solution
For a given heat in liquid, the apparent expansion is more than that of real expansion - false.
Correct Statement:
When the liquid is heated in a container, first heat is gained by container which expands and the level of liquid goes down, but immediately liquid receives the heat from container so apparent expansion is liquid.
Real expansion = Expansion of container + Apparent expansion
APPEARS IN
