Is a circuit Protection device made from special metals that shut off a switch if too much current flows through a circuit and there is a risk of overloading or overheating the circuit?
The (only) protection device which works like that is a fuse. It is simply a short length of metal which melts when too much current flows through it.
Do metals snap easily into smaller pieces?
Different metals have different behavior in this sense.
How is boron different from the transition metals?
Boron is a metalloid, not a metal. Transition metals are metals.
What is the difference between aluminiun sheet and aluminum plate?
Raw Material comes in many form. one form is in sheets or in plate. this form normally has a width of 1 or 1.2 meters and length can be in cut length of 2 or 3 or 4 meters or rolled in Coils. the thickness of this form is classified as sheets or plates . when thickness is 3 mm and less, it is called a sheet and 3 mm or more it is called a plate. As for 3 mm thick, one can call it a sheet or a plate.
What are the boiling point of metals and non- metals?
That would depend on what substance your talking about. Different metals and such would very in temp drastically!
What is the formula for weighing metals by its size Length x Width x Thickness?
Density = Mass / Volume the Volume is what you just said ... length x width x thickness
Is metal or rubber good insulators?
Metals are conductors, Rubber is an insulator. Different grades of rubber and dimensions (thickness) insulate to different degrees. This applies to both heat and electricity
What component is constructed using a metal strip made of two different metals that will separate when current flow is excessive?
a circuit breaker
Does thickness of a metal affect its electrical resistance?
Metals are conductive, but are not perfect conductors and so they have some electrical resistance. How the resistance of the metal is affected by "thickness" depends on what you mean by thickness. If the electrical current has to flow through a longer piece of metal, then the resistance of the metal to electrical flow would be greater. However, if you take that same length of metal and increase the area of the metal by increasing its "thickness", then the resistance of the metal becomes less.
How do you make a circuit using bimetallic strip?
The bimetallic strip is made of two different metals, bonded together. The two metals have different temperature expansion coefficients, so when the bonded assembly is heated or cooled, it curves one way or the other, allowing a switch to be opened or closed.

How big is a 2 pound coin?
this is a poorly phrased question. however I assume that you are asking the length and the width of one. the length is 28.4 mm and the width is 2.5 or 3.1mm, different websites say different things.
What metals are used in the construction of circuit breakers?
Copper, Brass and Aluminum.
How thick is 7 gauge steel?
3/16" or 0.1875" *** 7 gauge steel sheet is .1793", not .1875" *** Different metals have different thickness for their gauge...mild steel is .1793, aluminum is .1443, stainless steel is .1875
How are metals different?
metals are different because they have different textures and different tounching/feelings! and diffrent thoughts of wht they are
How are alkali metals different any from other metals?
Alkali metals are very reactive metals.
Do metals snap easily into smaller pieces?
Different metals have different behavior in this sense.
