Solution
When two identical rods (same length) are of different material and heated to the same rise in temperature, the copper rod will expand more than iron, since expansion depends on the nature of the material.
(Coefficient of linear expansion of copper 17 × 10-6 per °C > iron 13 × 10-6 per °C)
