To keep you from burning your hand as it will be hot since anything metal will be hot.

How does an electric kettle know to switch off when the water is boiling?
First, a 'Bi-metallic Strip' consisting of two different metals, having different 'Coefficients of Expansion', fused together in a two-layer strip which is connected electrically to the kettle element power supply. It is placed in a chamber, generally in the kettle handle, where steam from the top of the kettle can come into contact with the chamber holding the metal strip. (Not with the strip itself). When at room temp., the electrical contacts are closed allowing current to flow to the Element when power is switched on. When the kettle boils, steam is passed around the chamber that contains the strip, causing it to heat up. The metal having the higher 'C of E' of the two making up the bi-metal strip, will expand more than the other, causing the strip to bend and open the contacts, thus shutting off the power.

How does a bi-metallic strip change in temperature?
Such a strip is made from two metals with different expansion coefficients. When temperature changes it bends because of the different expansion of the two sides
How many different kinds of strip games are there?
There are many different kinds of strip games. Strip poker is probably the most well known. Others include strip scrabble, strip twister and strip chess.

Where would you use what is a bimetallic strip?
A bi metallic strip is simply two different metal strips sandwitched together. When the bimetallic strip heats up it bends because one of the metals expands more than the other one when it gets hot. Bi metallic strips are used in cars. When the engine heats up too much the bi metallic strip bends to open the cooling valve (thermostat) to let coolant circulate around the engine body to cool it down. Then the strip bends back once it gets cool again. So its like a heat switch. Bi metallic strips are used for anything that needs a heat switch.

What is temperature tripping?
It's basically a switch or 'fuse' that starts or stops when something gets too hot or too cold. Temperature switches are bi-metallic strips - basically, they are two different metals bonded together. When the bi-metallic strip gets hot or cold, each metal strip expands or contracts at a different rate, causing the strip to bend. This activates or deactivates the circuit.
