A bimetallic strip consists of two strips of different metals joined together that expand at same rates as they are heated.

Two straight metallic strips each of thickness t and length l are rivetted together. Their coefficients of linear expansions are alpha_(1) "and" alpha_(2) . If they are heated through temperature DeltaT , the bimetallic strip will bend to form an arc of radius

A bimetallic strip is formed out of two identical strips one of copper and the other of brass. The co-efficients of linear expansion of the two metals are alpha_(C) and alpha_(B) . On heating, the temperature of the strip goes up by △T the strip bends to form an are of radius of curvature R . Then R is

The variation of length of two metal rods A and B with change in temperature is shown in Fig. the coefficient of linear expansion alpha_A for the metal A and the temperature T will be? ( alpha_(A)=3x10^(-6)/ C )

A bimetallic strip is based on the principle that different metals have different thermal expansions for the same rise in temperature.

(A) : When a Bimetalic strip made up of Brass and Iron is heated then brass lies on the convex side. ( R) : Due to lower value of coefficient of linear expansion, brass aquires convex shape.
