Why should a clinical thermometer not be sterilize in boiling water?
Because clinical thermometer have a very small range. (20 to 45 degrees Celsius at most) and if placed in boiling water, the water being 100 degrees will cause damage to the thermometer.
What is advantages and disadvantages of clinical thermometer?
Clinical thermometers, also known as medical thermometers, are used for measuring human body temperature. They have kinks at one end which prevent the fluid from flowing back before the readings have been taken. They offer accurate and easy-to-read recordings, in addition they are easy to clean, to carry around and to store.
Can you give a technical description of the clinical thermometer?
Definition:It is an instrument used to measure body temperature.Diagram:Description:It is a small glass thermometer designed for clinical use in humans or animals. Designed with a narrowing small glass above the bulb so that the mercury column stays in position when the instrument is removed from the body. It is carefully calibrated at the time of manufacturing. Now a days mercury thermometer not used because it can break, spilling mercury posing a risk of human or animal health. they can be inserted in the month, armpit, anus or even attached to the forehead depending on the design.
Why does a mercury-in-glass laboratory thermometer have a narrow capillary bore?
To increase the sensitivity of the thermometer, that is, for the thermometer to respond quickly to small changes in temperature.
How do you tell how hot or cold something is?
use a thermometer.We can feel how hot or cold something is. However, sometimes things are just too hot or cold for us to feel safely. At other times we need to know exactly how hot or cold something is. When we need to measure temperature correctly we need to use an instrument called a thermometer. This measures temperature in degrees Celsius [sometimes called centigrade] or degrees Fahrenheit. There are different types of thermometers for different situations. A medical thermometer, for example, needs to be very accurate. It measures in fractions of degrees. When we are ill, even tiny changes in temperature are important. Some thermometers use a liquid that moves up a very fine glass tube. Most room thermometers, and outdoor thermometers are like this. The liquid is either mercury [ which is poisonous] or coloured alcohol. As liquids get warmer they expand [get bigger], and move up the tube. Water expands too, but not as much as alcohol and mercury. Thermometers that might be used by small children are not made of glass. They use a digital display which lights up the temperature. Inside the displays are chemicals that change colour according to the temperature.
Why does a clinical thermometer have a small range of degrees?
Because living humans are homeotherms.
What is a clinical thermometer?

Which conditions make resistance small?
The resistance of a wire is the length divided by the cross-section area and the conductivity of the material. So for small resistance you need a wire with short length, large cross-section area (diameter) and a material with high conductivity like copper.
