How does an electric kettle know when the water reaches boiling point?
First, a 'Bi-metallic Strip' consisting of two different metals, having different 'Coefficients of Expansion', fused together in a two-layer strip which is connected electrically to the kettle element power supply. It is placed in a chamber, generally in the kettle handle, where steam from the top of the kettle can come into contact with the chamber holding the metal strip. (Not with the strip itself). When at room temp., the electrical contacts are closed allowing current to flow to the Element when power is switched on. When the kettle boils, steam is passed around the chamber that contains the strip, causing it to heat up. The metal having the higher 'C of E' of the two making up the bi-metal strip, will expand more than the other, causing the strip to bend and open the contacts, thus shutting off the power.

This is to discharge static charge that builds up.

Contains a piece of metal that bends when its hot?
A thermostat is the most common item containing a bimetallic strip.
Why does a bi-metal strip bends?
A bi-metal strip consists of two metals that expand by different amounts when the temperature changes, so it will bend when heated.

What is a strip or vein of quartz containing gold called starting with r?
Rutilated quartz.
What is helical bimetallic strip?
A helical bimetallic strip is two strips of metal with differing boiling points that have been fused together, spiraling upwards around a central object. When heat is applied to the bimetallic strip, the different chemical properties in each metal strip will cause them to expand, forcing the helical strip to expand upwards.
