In figure which strip (brass or steel) has higher coefficient of linear expansion.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

As the coefficient of thermal expansion of the brass is greater than steel. Hence, the length of brass strip will be more than steel strip. Therefore, brass strip will be on convex side.
