Equivalent diameter of a particle is the diameter of the sphere having the same
Show Hint
- Ratio of surface to volume as the actual volume
- Ratio of volume to surface as the particle
- Volume as the particle
- Surface as the particle
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The equivalent diameter is defined as the diameter of a sphere that has the same volume as the particle. This allows for comparison of the physical properties of different-shaped particles.
Conclusion: The equivalent diameter compares the volume of a particle to a spherical shape, making option (C) correct.
