MCQ
The compressibility of a material is
- AProduct of volume and its pressure
- BThe change in pressure per unit change in volume strain
- ✓The fractional change in volume per unit change in pressure
- DNone of the above
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
The fractional change in volume per unit change in pressure
c
(c)$\frac{1}{K} = $compressibility $ = \left( {\frac{{ - \Delta V/V}}{{\Delta P}}} \right)$
(c)$\frac{1}{K} = $compressibility $ = \left( {\frac{{ - \Delta V/V}}{{\Delta P}}} \right)$
