Q5 of 64 Page 11

Consider the following statements.

(A) The coefficient of linear expansion has dimension K–1.


(B) The coefficient of volume expansion has dimension K–1.


The dimension of the coefficient of


Linear expansion =


Volume expansion=


Thus, the linear and volume expansion of the gas have the same dimensions.


Hence, option A is the correct.
