A bimetallic strip is made up of two metals (the prefix "bi-" means "two"). The two metals have different coefficients of thermal expansion.

What are 2 examples of heat or temperature sensors?
-- bimetallic strip -- thermocouple junction
What is bimetallic strip made of?
A bimetallic strip is made out of steel and iron
What is a bimetallic strip and where can it be used?
A bimetallic strip is a strip with two metals bonded together. It can be found in thermostats
Which two metals are used in bimetallic strip?
A bimetallic strip is made out of copper and steel.
What is the Operating principle of a bimetallic strip?
A bimetallic strip is used to convert a temperature change into mechanical displacement.
Can anyone explain the use of a bimetallic strip in heat regulation in an electric iron?
When the temperature of the iron increases, the bimetallic strip bends upwards. This breaks the contact between the strip and the heating coil. When the temperature falls, the bimetallic strip bends down and the contact is restored.
What happens when bimetallic strip is heated?
The bimetallic strip bends.

What is bimetallic strip made of?
A bimetallic strip is made out of steel and iron
What is helical bimetallic strip?
A helical bimetallic strip is two strips of metal with differing boiling points that have been fused together, spiraling upwards around a central object. When heat is applied to the bimetallic strip, the different chemical properties in each metal strip will cause them to expand, forcing the helical strip to expand upwards.

Bimetallic strip
What happens when you put a bimetallic strip in the flame of a burner?
It bends towards the side that has the metal that expands the least when heat is applied.
Does the bimetallic strip bend when heated?
yes
Is bimetallic strip used in clocks?
YES!
