Such a strip is made from two metals with different expansion coefficients. When temperature changes it bends because of the different expansion of the two sides

A bimetallic strip can be found?
at the end of a long steel bridge
What are the examples of Contraction in solid liquid and gas?
bimetallic strip
Why does the bimetallic strip take the curved shape?
A bi-metallic strip is made of two different metals. (Duh!) Each metal has its OWN coefficient of thermal expansion, so when it heats up, one side expands more than the other does. The side that expands more causes the strip to bend toward the side that expands less.
How does LCD strip thermometers work?
if you are talking about the strips that you put on your forehead it isn't an LCD strip instead there are different thermochromic inks applied to different parts of the strip. when heat is applied to the inks they change colour and with the use of different inks, they change colour at different temperatures because of this, you can see your temperature (: help much?
The pieces become pressed together and form solid and called?
The question needs a better focus. Taking it as read, the pieces become impacted. Or perhaps a bimetallic strip? Or a sedimentary rock?
What is the Operating principle of a bimetallic strip?
A bimetallic strip is used to convert a temperature change into mechanical displacement.
Can anyone explain the use of a bimetallic strip in heat regulation in an electric iron?
When the temperature of the iron increases, the bimetallic strip bends upwards. This breaks the contact between the strip and the heating coil. When the temperature falls, the bimetallic strip bends down and the contact is restored.
What does bimetallic strip mean?
A strip consisting of two metals that bends with a rise in temperature
What is Advantages and disadvantages of bimetallic strip?
they are cheap to buy, easy to install, they are not extermely accurate and are slow to react to a temperature change.
Is it possible to use bimetallic strip to find temperature?
because of pressure
What is the element which bends with temperature and is used in thermostatic switches?
Bimetallic strip
What happens to a hot bimetallic strip when it is cooled to room temperature?
It Melts:P.
What temperature is required for a bimetallic strip to bend?
Any temperature above or below the temperature at which they were glued together.
Why are bimetallic strips used in thermostats?
The two metals chosen for the bimetallic strip have different modulii of thermal expansion, The bimetallic strip bends as the temperature changes and so the strip can be used to activate relays or other electronic switches and so work as a thermostat.
What happens when bimetallic strip is heated?
The bimetallic strip bends.
A bimetallic strip used in thermostats relies on the fact that different metals have different?
Rates of physical expansion, over the same temperature change.
What does bimetallic mean?
A strip consisting of two metals that bends with a rise in temperature
