The area of a circular copper coin increases by $0.4 \%$ when its temperature is raised by $100^{\circ} C$. The coefficient of linear expansion of the coin is:

  • A
    $1 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ} C$
  • B
    $2 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ} C$
  • C
    $3 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ} C$
  • D
    $4 \times 10^{-5} /^{\circ} C$

$A$ brass rod of length $50\; cm$ and diameter $3.0\; mm$ is joined to a steel rod of the same length and diameter. What is the change in length of the combined rod at $250\; ^{\circ}C$,if the original lengths are at $40.0\; ^{\circ}C$? Is there a 'thermal stress' developed at the junction? The ends of the rod are free to expand. (Coefficient of linear expansion of brass $= 2.0 \times 10^{-5}\; K^{-1}$,steel $= 1.2 \times 10^{-5}\; K^{-1}$)
