A bimetallic strip is made of aluminium ...

A bimetallic strip is made of aluminium and steel `(alpha_(Al) gt alpha_("steel"))`. On heating, the strip will

A

remains strsaight

B

get twisted

C

will bend with aluminium on concave side

D

will bend with steel on concave side

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

As `alpha_(Al) gt alpha_("steel")` aluminium will expand more. So it should have large radius of curvature. Hence, aluminium will be on convex side.

Two rods, one of aluminium and other made of steel, having initial lengths l_(1) and l_(2) are connected together to form a single rod of length (l_(1)+l_(2)) . The coefficient of linear expansions for aluminium and steel are alpha_(a) and alpha_(s) respectively. If length of each rod increases by same amount when their tempertures are raised by t^(@)C , then find the ratio l_(1) (l_(1)+l_(2)) .
