Question

What happens when we increase the temperature of solids?

This question was previously asked in
RRB NTPC 2024 Undergraduate CBT 1 Question Paper (29-Aug-2025) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

The kinetic energy of the particles will increase.

The correct answer is option 4 I.e. The kinetic energy of the particles will increase.

When we increase the temperature of solids, the kinetic energy of the particles increases. As the temperature rises, the particles in the solid vibrate more intensely. This increased movement results from the added energy, which causes the particles to gain more kinetic energy.

If the temperature continues to rise and reaches a certain point (the melting point), the solid may transition into a liquid as the particles gain enough energy to overcome the forces holding them in a rigid structure.
