Vedclass · Answer

(D) Let $L_0$ be the initial length of each strip before heating.Let $d$ be the total thickness of the bimetallic strip.After heating,the lengths of the brass and copper strips are:$L_B = L_0(1 + \alpha_B \Delta T) = (R + d)	heta$$L_C = L_0(1 + \alpha_C \Delta T) = R	heta$Dividing the two equations:$\frac{R + d}{R} = \frac{1 + \alpha_B \Delta T}{1 + \alpha_C \Delta T}$$1 + \frac{d}{R} = \frac{1 + \alpha_B \Delta T}{1 + \alpha_C \Delta T}$$\frac{d}{R} = \frac{1 + \alpha_B \Delta T}{1 + \alpha_C \Delta T} - 1 = \frac{1 + \alpha_B \Delta T - 1 - \alpha_C \Delta T}{1 + \alpha_C \Delta T} = \frac{(\alpha_B - \alpha_C)\Delta T}{1 + \alpha_C \Delta T}$Since $\alpha \Delta T \ll 1$,we can approximate $1 + \alpha_C \Delta T \approx 1$.Thus,$R = \frac{d}{(\alpha_B - \alpha_C)\Delta T}$.Therefore,$R \propto \frac{1}{\Delta T}$ and $R \propto \frac{1}{|\alpha_B - \alpha_C|}$.Hence,both $(B)$ and $(C)$ are correct.

The coefficients of linear expansion of brass and steel are ${\alpha _1}$ and ${\alpha _2}$ respectively. If we take a brass rod of length ${l_1}$ and a steel rod of length ${l_2}$ at $0^{\circ}C$,their difference in length $({l_2} - {l_1})$ will remain the same at any temperature if:

$A$ metal rod having a coefficient of linear expansion $2 \times 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$ is $0.75 \ m$ long at $45^{\circ} C$. When the temperature rises to $65^{\circ} C$,the increase in length of the rod will be: (in $mm$)

If the volume of a block of metal changes by $0.12\%$ when it is heated through $20^{\circ}C$,the coefficient of linear expansion (in per $^{\circ}C^{-1}$) of the metal is :-

$A$ metal metre scale that is accurate up to $0.5 \ mm$ is made at a temperature of $25^{\circ} C$. The range of temperatures within which it can be used is (Coefficient of linear expansion of the metal $= 10^{-5} /{ }^{\circ} C$)

The length of a metal rod at $30^{\circ} C$ is $30 \ cm$. If its temperature is raised to $105^{\circ} C$, its length is increased by $0.027 \ cm$. Then the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is
