JEE MAIN - Physics (2020 - 5th September Evening Slot - No. 12)

Two different wires having lengths L1 and L2, and respective temperature coefficient of linear expansion $$\alpha $$1 and $$\alpha $$2, are joined end-to-end. Then the effective temperature coefficient of linear expansion is :
$$2\sqrt {{\alpha _1}{\alpha _2}} $$
$$4{{{\alpha _1}{\alpha _2}} \over {{\alpha _1} + {\alpha _2}}}{{{L_2}{L_1}} \over {{{\left( {{L_2} + {L_1}} \right)}^2}}}$$
$${{{\alpha _1} + {\alpha _2}} \over 2}$$
$${{{\alpha _1}{L_1} + {\alpha _2}{L_2}} \over {{L_1} + {L_2}}}$$

Explanation

JEE Main 2020 (Online) 5th September Evening Slot Physics - Heat and Thermodynamics Question 262 English Explanation

L'1 = L1(1 + $$\alpha $$1$$\Delta $$T)

L'2 = L2(1 + $$\alpha $$2$$\Delta $$T)

L'eq = (L1 + L2) (1 + $$\alpha $$avg$$\Delta $$T)

$$ \therefore $$ (L1 + L2) (1 + $$\alpha $$avg$$\Delta $$T) = L1(1 + $$\alpha $$1$$\Delta $$T) + L2(1 + $$\alpha $$2$$\Delta $$T)

$$ \Rightarrow $$ (L1 + L2)$$\alpha $$avg = L1$$\alpha $$1 + L2$$\alpha $$2

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$\alpha $$avg = $${{{\alpha _1}{L_1} + {\alpha _2}{L_2}} \over {{L_1} + {L_2}}}$$
