A bimetallic strip is made of aluminium and steel \(\left(\alpha_{\mathrm{Al}}>\alpha_{\text {steel }}\right)\). On heating, the strip will

  1. A remain straight
  2. B get twisted
  3. C bend with aluminium on concave side
  4. D bend with steel on concave side
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) get twisted

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

As we know that, \( \begin{array}{rlrl} \Delta l & =l_0 \alpha \Delta T \\ \Rightarrow & \alpha & =\frac{\Delta l}{l_0 \Delta T} \end{array} \) where, \(\Delta l\) is change in length, \(l_0\) is initial length, \(\Delta T\) is change in temperature and \(\alpha\) is coefficient…
