A bimetallic strip consists of metals A and B. It is mounted rigidly as shown. The metal A has higher coefficient of expansion compared to that of metal B. When the bimetallic strip is placed in a cold bath, it will :
Multiple Choice Options
- A Not bend but shrink
- B Neither bend nor shrink
- C Bend towards the left
- D Bend towards the right
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Given, {\alpha _A} > {\alpha _B}
\Delta {L_A} > \Delta {L_B}
So, A will contract more than B, so it will bend towards left.
