Since metals don't all expand and contract at the same rate, this bimetallic strip will be straight at only one temperature. Heat the strip up and the strip will bend because one metal will expand more than the other. This bending of the bimetallic strip is used in thermostats to regulate temperature. This strip provides a closed circuit to a heater. When it gets too hot, the strip bends and cuts off the electric current. No more heating goes on, and the strip starts to cool. When the bimetallic strip is straight again, the circuit is connected, and the heater heats up again.
