No.

A chord is a straight line drawn between any two points on the circumference of a circle.

The longest chord is when the points are on opposite sides of the centre of the circle (and passes through the centre of the circle).

The straight line which joins the points on opposite sides of the centre (through the centre) is called the diameter of the circle.

Therefore the longest chord possible is the diameter of the circle.

A circle with a diameter of 15 in can have a chord with a maximum length of 15 in.

What is the difference between diameter and a chord?

A chord is any line segment going from one side of the circle to another. A diameter is a special chord - it is a chord that goes through the center of the circle. It is also the biggest chord possible in the circle. So all diameters are chords, but not all chords are diameters
