What are the use of barometer?

A barometer is a instrument used to measure air pressure


Where is the bimetallic strips used in cars?

Bimetallic strips are typically found in the turn indicator circuit on vehicles. The opening and closing of the contacts makes the familiar clicking noise that we associate with turning on the blinker. This component is being replaced in the auto industry as more car models are being equipped with LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes). LEDs consume only a fraction of the current that their incandescent counterparts do and as such the current drawn is not sufficient to heat a strip. Both the LEDs and the solid state driver modules that are replacing the bimetallic strips are more durable, more reliable and usually have a life expectancy longer than the car they were installed in.


Is a toaster a magnet?

Commonly a toaster will have a small magnet as part of the time/colour mechanism. A bimetallic strip gradually heats up, and breaks the electrical current. If we use a simple bimetallic mechanism, then the breaking process will be gradual. If we add a small magnet to the system, then it will withstand the opening force of the bimetallic for a little, and then will snap open quickly. If the breaking process were gradual, then there would be some arcing of the contacts - undesirable.


What instruments are used to measure the atmospheric pressure?

Usually the instrument used is called a barometer- which could be a closed end manometer or an aneroid barometer.An altimeter actually also measures atmospheric pressures - but for a different purpose.
