Yes a compressor will run the entire heating and cooling cycle, unless its in emergency heat in which case you will not have compressor operation.

Defrost cycle is the AC mode except the outdoor fan is de energized to assist in the defrosting of the outdoor coil.

Can you run a 3 ton heat pump with a 7000 watt generator?

No. The heat pump (your outdoor unit) and indoor blower motor will run ok at these power levels, but here is the bad news - if the heat pump can't meet the temperature demand (or it gets below ~ 20F outside), the furnace will attempt to turn on several electric strip heaters (as emergency backup). These strip heaters are rated from ~ 5000W to 20000W, depending on the size of your home. Your generator can't handle that load.

What happens in the electric bell when aluminium strip is used instead of iron strip?

Using an aluminum strip instead of an iron strip in the electric bell will affect the magnetic properties and the strength of the electromagnet. Aluminum is not as magnetic as iron, so the electromagnet will not be able to attract the hammer to strike the bell as effectively. This may result in a weaker sound or the bell not ringing at all.

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.
