MCQ
For a solid with a small expansion coefficient:
  • A
    $C_p-C_v=R $
  • B
    $ C_p=C_v$
  • $C_p$ is slightly greater than $C_v$
  • D
    $C_p$ is slightly less than $C_v$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$C_p$ is slightly greater than $C_v$
For a solid with a small expansion coefficient, work done in a process will also be small.
Thus, the specific heat depends slightly on the process.
Therefore, $C_p$ is slightly greater than $C_v$​​​​​​​.
