Abstract

A five-dimensional FRW-type Kaluza–Klein cosmological model is taken to study the role of extra dimension in the expansion of the universe. Relation between scale factors corresponding to conventional four dimensions and the extra dimension has been established. Field equations are solved in order to find out the effect of pressure corresponding to these scale factors. Conditions for accelerated expansion are derived.
