How much length of a rod of length 1 m increases when heated through 1°C?

Solution
The increase in the length of rod is,
increment ell space equals space ell αθ
space space space space space space space equals space 1 cross times straight alpha cross times 1
space space space space space space space equals space straight alpha 
That is,
Increase in the length is equal to the temperature coefficient of linear expansion.
