    When a copper ball is heated, the largest percentage increase will occur in its  

    A) Diameter

    B) Area

    C) Volume

    D) Density

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                   When a copper ball is heated, it’s size increases. As \[Volume\propto {{\left( radius \right)}^{3}}\] and \[Area~\,\,\propto {{\left( radius \right)}^{2}}\], so percentage increase will be largest in it’s volume. Density will decrease with rise in temperature.
