A bimetallic is made of two strips A and B having coefficients of linear expansion `alpha_(4) and alpha_(B)`. If `alpha_(A) lt alpha_(B)`, then on heating, the strip will

A

Bend with A on outer side

B

Bend with B on outer side

C

Not bend at all

D

None of the above

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
As `alpha_(B) gt alpha_(A)` Strip B will expand more therefore, strip B will appear on outer side.
