If a bimetallic strip is heated, it will
Bend towards the metal with lower linear thermal expansion coefficient
Bend towards the metal with higher linear thermal expansion coefficient
Not bend at all
None
Give name of substance that contracts with increase in temperature.
A glass flask is filled up to a mark with $50\, cc$ of mercury at $18°C.$ If the flask and contents are heated to $38°C.$ ......... $cc$ mercury will be above the mark $?$ $(\alpha$ for glass is $ 9 × 10^{-6}{°}C^{-1}$ and coefficient of real expansion of mercury is $180 × 10^{-6}{°}C^{-1})$
Explain linear expansion. Write a unit.
A steel scale measures the length of a copper wire as $80.0\,cm,$ when both are at $20^\circ C$ (the calibration temperature for scale). What would be the scale read for the length of the wire when both are at $40^\circ C$ $?$ (Given $\alpha_{steel} $ = $11 \times {10^{ - 6}}$per$°C$ and $\alpha_{copper}$ = $17 \times {10^{ - 6}}per\,^\circ C$)
Two metal strips that constitute a thermostat must necessarily differ in their
