If the volume of a block of metal changes by 0.12%. when it is heated through 20°C, then the coefficient of linear expansion is

a
4×10−5∘C−1
b
2×10−5∘C−1
c
0.5×10−5∘C−1
d
4×10−4∘C−1

detailed solution

Correct option is B

Here, ΔVV=0.12%,=0.12100ΔT=20∘CNow, γ=ΔVVΔT=0.12100×20=6×10−5∘C−1∴ α=γ3=2×10−5∘C−1.
