Homework Statement


In a bimetallic strip of brass and copper which curls when heated, the brass is on the inside of the curve.

True or false?


Homework Equations



deltaL=alpha*Lo*deltaT



The Attempt at a Solution


It is false but I do not get why. Brass has a higher coefficient of linear expansion so if it is in the inside, I suppose it will expand faster than the copper causing stress in the copper to curl?

Brass expands more, so the strips will bend so the brass strip is on the outside. If it bent so far as to form a circle, you could say greater radius, greater circumference.
