sockets that attaches to the end of a flexible cable and allows multiple devices to be plugged in. As such it can be considered a type of trailing socket though that term is more often used for single and double cable mounted sockets. The term is also used to refer to the complete assembly with the power strip on one end and a plug on the other. Power strips are often used when many electrical devices are in proximity, especially with audio/video and computer systems.

What is a bimetic strip?

A bi-metal strip is a bimetallic strip that is used to convert temperature changes into mechanical movement. It consists of two metals that expand by different amounts when the temperature changes, so it will bend when heated.


What is a fused alkali?

A fused alkali refers to a mixture of alkali metal salts that have been melted or fused together to form a homogeneous compound. This process helps to increase the solubility and reactivity of the alkali metals. These fused alkalis are often used in analytical chemistry and industrial applications.

Why do some computer auto start when power cable is plugged into the socket even though the power button is not turned on?

A power strip (also known as an extension block, power board and by many other variations) is a block of electrical sockets that attaches to the end of a flexible cable and allows multiple electrical devices to be plugged in. As such it can be considered a type of trailing socket though that term is more often used for single and double cable mounted sockets. The term is also used to refer to the complete assembly with the power strip on one end and a plug on the other. Power strips are often used when many electrical devices are in proximity, such as for audio/video and computer systems. Power strips often include a circuit breaker to safely limit the electric power flowing through them.


Difference between calcium chloride and fused calcium chloride?

Calcium chloride is a salt that is typically in the form of a solid or solution. Fused calcium chloride refers to the solid form of calcium chloride that has been heated to its melting point and then cooled to solidify. Fused calcium chloride has a higher purity and is often used in more specialized applications compared to regular calcium chloride.


What is a geo-strip?

What is a bimetallic strip and where can it be used?

A bimetallic strip is made of two different metals bonded together, which have different coefficients of thermal expansion. This causes the strip to bend when heated or cooled. Bimetallic strips are often used in thermostats, temperature switches, and circuit breakers to control temperature-sensitive mechanisms.

Why is bimetallic stripes used in gadgets?

Bimetallic strips consists of two strips of fused together along their length. On one side, you'll see one metal; flip it around and you see another type. Since metals don't all expand and contract at the same rate, this bimetallic strip will be straight at only one temperature. Heat the strip up and the strip will bend because one metal will expand more than the other. This bending of the bimetallic strip is used in thermostats to regulate temperature. This strip provides a closed circuit to a heater. When it gets too hot, the strip bends and cuts off the electric current. No more heating goes on, and the strip starts to cool. When the bimetallic strip is straight again, the circuit is connected, and the heater heats up again.
