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.
