If you are talking about a regular liquid filled thermometer (alcohol or Mercury), they don't. Alcohol and mercury aren't magnetic. A lot of thermometers have magnets on the back so they can be attached to a refrigerator or metal beam. Maybe, if you had a really strong magnet, a mechanical thermometer (like a bi-metallic strip used in a thermostat) could be affected by a magnet, but I doubt it.

How do magnets and radishes affect each other?

magnets make the radishes grow larger. i noticed that the magnets also made the radishes produce more leaves.


How does the cold affect magnets?

Heat and cold both make magnets stronger, but cold temperatures make magnets stronger than heat does. Actually, oly cold temperature make magnets stronger, you can actually try, hold one little magnet on your hand for like 30 seconds or something and you can realize that your magnet is really less stronger Unfortunately this guy is wrong ^^^^^^ Cold makes a magnet stronger and heat can actually take its magnetic domains away. When a magnet is supercooled it becomes stronger because the atoms are moving slower and are thicker which make a stronger positive or negative side of a magnet. Heat can ruin a magnet. There is a very hot temperature for every magnet called a Curie Temperature, which is when a magnet is no longer magnetized. For instance, and iron magnets Curie Temperature is about 1,000°C! This happens because the random motion of atoms increases in speed which disturbs the magnets magnetic domains. (well... he's somewhat right) =) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You both are right.


How does cold temperature affect the ability to breathe?

It shallows breathing bcause the cold temperature causes your lungs to contract


Will magnets affect honey bees?

There is some evidence that the electro magneto field from high tension power lines can affect honey bees but nobody seems to be absolutely certain.

What were early thermometers missing?

Early thermometers were missing standardized temperature scales, making it difficult to compare measurements between devices. Additionally, early thermometers lacked precise calibration methods, leading to inaccuracies in temperature readings. Furthermore, some early thermometers did not have enclosed systems, which could affect the accuracy of measurements due to air pressure changes.


Does putting magnets on a fridge use more energy?

No. The doors of the fridge have insulation in them, and the magnetic force does not affect temperature inside the fridge whatsoever.


Does water temperature affect magnets in water?

yes because the magnet will reach its curie temprature and loose stregth


Do thermometers that are facing south read higher temperatures?

No, the direction a thermometer is facing should not affect the temperature reading. Temperature is a measurement of the kinetic energy of molecules in the air and is not influenced by the direction of the thermometer.


Do magnets affect capacitors?

Yes, they do, but their affect is minimal. Magnets with their magnet fields affect inductors profoundly, but don't do to much to capacitors.

yes temp does affect the strength of magnets. The cooler the magnet the stronger it gets.


How accurate is a thermometer?

A thermometer can be accurate if used correctly and calibrated regularly. However, factors such as environmental conditions and handling can affect its accuracy. Digital thermometers tend to be more accurate than traditional mercury thermometers.

Why do Scientist use a thermometer?

Scientists use thermometers to measure temperature accurately in various scientific experiments and research. Temperature is a critical parameter that can affect chemical reactions, biological processes, and physical properties of substances. Thermometers help scientists to make precise measurements and analyze the impact of temperature on their study subjects.
