Thermostats are used to measure temperature in a room or appliance (ex.furnace). Thermostat act as temperature regulators which can turn appliances on or off at a predetermined temperature. Thermostats use the contraction of solids to measure temperature. Thermostats contain a strip made of two metals (bimetallic strip) that expand or contract depending on whether they are heated or cooled. When the metal expands or contracts it bends. The amount that the metal bends depends on the temperature. The bending provides a measure of the temperature.
