What is the Operating principle of a bimetallic strip?
A bimetallic strip is used to convert a temperature change into mechanical displacement.
What does bimetallic strip mean?
A strip consisting of two metals that bends with a rise in temperature
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 are 2 examples of heat or temperature sensors?
-- bimetallic strip -- thermocouple junction

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?

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.
