Practice question
Question
Why does a metallic lid expand more than a glass jar when heated together?
Explanation
Metals typically have a higher coefficient of linear expansion than glass, causing them to expand more for the same temperature increase. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to Metal has a higher coefficient of expansion. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option A is scientifically correct.
