A bimetallic strip can be found?
at the end of a long steel bridge
What are the examples of Contraction in solid liquid and gas?
bimetallic strip
Why does the bimetallic strip take the curved shape?
A bi-metallic strip is made of two different metals. (Duh!) Each metal has its OWN coefficient of thermal expansion, so when it heats up, one side expands more than the other does. The side that expands more causes the strip to bend toward the side that expands less.
The pieces become pressed together and form solid and called?
The question needs a better focus. Taking it as read, the pieces become impacted. Or perhaps a bimetallic strip? Or a sedimentary rock?
Can you dig aluminum out of the ground?
Yes, bauxite is the ore of aluminium (aluminum). It is normally found close to the surface so is strip or quarry mined.
What happens when bimetallic strip is heated?
The bimetallic strip bends.
Does the bimetallic strip bend when heated?
yes
What are the bimetallic strip made up of?
Iron and brass
Which two metals are used in a bimetallic strip?
A bimetallic strip usually consists of steel and copper. In some cases brass is used instead of copper.
What changes takes place when bimetallic strip is heated?
actually what happen is that the strip is curved to the outside
When a bimetallic strip is heated it bends toward the metal with the thermal expansion?
... smaller ...
What is the principel of bimetallic strip?
A bimetallic strip is made from two combined metal strips that have different rates of expansion when heated. This causes the strip to bend and so close or open an electrical contact switch.
What uses bimetallic strip?
Appliances like electric iron, which need a cut off from the electric current from time to time as the appliance is heated adequately, use bimetallic strip for this.
What happens to bimetallic strip when it is heated and cooled?
The two metals have different expansion rates when the strip is heated. This means that one of the metals will expand more than the other, causing the strip to bend.
What is two strips of different metals welded together causing the strip to bend when heated?
That's a "bi-metal" or "bi-metallic" strip.
Why is a bimetallic strip curve when it is heated or cooled?
Because the two metals have different coefficient of linear expansion
Would brass or iron expand in a bimetallic strip?
brass Brass expands more for the same temperature change than iron! SOURCE: ILSS 8(school book)
