The radius of a metal sphere at room temperature T is R and the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is α. The sphere is heated a little by a temperature T, so that its new temperature is T + T. The increase in the volume of the sphere is approximately, {NCERT Exemplar]

a
2πRα∆T
b
πR2α∆T
c
4πR3α∆T/3
d
4πR3α∆T

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Let the radius of the sphere be R. As the temperature increases, radius of the sphere increases as shown in figure.Original volume, Coefficient of linear expansion = α∴Coefficient of volume expansion = 3α∴  1VdVdT=3α⇒dV=3VαdT≈4πR3αΔT                    = Increase in the volume
