Q-10)   When a copper ball is heated, the largest percentage increase will occur in its

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

Explanation:

When a copper ball is heated, its size increases.

As volume ∝ (radius)3 and Area ∝ (radius)2,

So the percentage increase will be the largest in its volume.

Density will decrease with rising temperature.
