A bimetallic strip is made of aluminium and steel ( _ Al > _ steel ) . On heating, the strip will
Options
- Aremain straight
- Bget twisted
- Cbend with aluminium on concave side
- Dbend with steel on concave side
Correct answer
B. get twisted
Step-by-step solution
As we know that, array rlrl l & =l₀ T & & = l l₀ T array where, l is change in length, l₀ is initial length, T is change in temperature and is coefficient of linear expansion. Now, array ll & _ Al > _ stecl & l_ Al > l_ stecl array That means aluminium expands more than steel.
