This is called thermal expansion. When an object is heated, it's particles move faster. This causes greater separation between the particles and the object expands. The coefficient of thermal expansion describes how much an object will expand per degree with the same applied pressure.

Does plasma expand when heated?
I assume as most materials do.
Does an iron ring expands or contracts on heating?
Most materials expand when heated.
Why does an iron wire expand when heated?
That's not just an iron wire - most materials expand when heated. This is called thermal expansion, and has to do with the fact that molecules move faster when it is hotter.
What happens to particles when materials are heated or cooled?
ummm it will definetely expand....if the materials you"re talking about is the term for science.
Why do solids expand when heated even though their mass does not change?
BECAUSE the moncules are heated they expand because there gay and expand
What do Metals and other substances do when heated?
materials usually expand when heated.

What happens to the volume of a material when it is heated?
It depends on the material. Most materials would expand and the volume would increases.
Oil expand or contract when heated?
Oil does expand when heated and contracts when cooled.
Why would an engineer need to know the effect of temperature on a solid?
Things expand when heated, and different materials expand differently. An engineer needs to calculate HOW MUCH things expand, and factor this in when designing anything.
Is liquid expand when heated?
Yes, in general a liquid will expand when heated. They contract when they are cooled.
Does matter expand or contract when it is heated?
Expand
