First, a 'Bi-metallic Strip' consisting of two different metals, having different 'Coefficients of Expansion', fused together in a two-layer strip which is connected electrically to the kettle element power supply.
It is placed in a chamber, generally in the kettle handle, where steam from the top of the kettle can come into contact with the chamber holding the metal strip. (Not with the strip itself).
When at room temp., the electrical contacts are closed allowing current to flow to the Element when power is switched on.
When the kettle boils, steam is passed around the chamber that contains the strip, causing it to heat up.
The metal having the higher 'C of E' of the two making up the bi-metal strip, will expand more than the other, causing the strip to bend and open the contacts, thus shutting off the power.

What is happening inside the kettle with water?
Inside the kettle, the water is being heated by an electric element or flame. As the water absorbs heat, its temperature rises and eventually reaches the boiling point, causing it to turn into steam. The pressure from the steam builds up inside the kettle until it forces the steam out through the spout, producing the whistling sound characteristic of a boiling kettle.
How does a Crofton Electric Water Kettle work?
There is a heating element in the kettle. As the water boils, the inner temperature of the kettle rises. Once the boiling temperature is reached, a small thermostat is triggered which turns the kettle off, so as to not boil continually. This thermostat works optimally with the lid on the kettle fully closed, if the lid is not fully closed, it does not switch the kettle off as quickly.
In an electric kettle water becomes hot by?
In an electric kettle, water becomes hot by using a heating element that heats up when the kettle is turned on. The heating element transfers heat to the water, raising its temperature until it reaches boiling point.
How is a color changing kettle made?
An electric kettle was first made by Crompton and Co. in 1891 and all the earliest examples had the element in a separate chamber under the water, maintaining the 'fire under the water' layout of traditional boiling vessels.
What is IGEma boiling water indicator?
I was unable to find any information on a "IGEma". If this is a type of a boiling water kettle, you will see the orange indicator light up on the side of the pot when water reaches boiling.

How do you use your electric airpot?
Well, the first thing to do when you use your electric pot is to fill it with water. After doing so, you plug the kettle and turn it on. Usually it will light up (usually red color) when you turn the switch on. It will indicate that the kettle is boiling. It will then turn green when the boiling is done.

What are the inputs of an electric kettle?
The inputs of an electric kettle typically include water, electricity from a power source, and a switch or button for turning it on/off.
What is boiling water out of a kettle used for?
Boiling water out of a kettle can be used for boiling noodles for soup or spaghetti.
How does the electric kettle thermostat regulate the temperature of the water during the boiling process?
The electric kettle thermostat uses a sensor to detect the temperature of the water. When the water reaches the desired temperature, the thermostat automatically turns off the heating element to prevent the water from boiling over. This process helps regulate the temperature of the water during the boiling process.
How does the switch of an electrical kettle saves energy?
Compared to leaving the kettle on and hot all the time, it certainly saves electrical energy if the kettle is turned off when it's not in use. The switch can be used to perform that vital function.
In an electric kettle water becomes hot by?
In an electric kettle, water becomes hot by using a heating element that heats up when the kettle is turned on. The heating element transfers heat to the water, raising its temperature until it reaches boiling point.
What is more efficiency electric kettle and electric hotplate?
An electric kettle is generally more efficient than an electric hotplate for boiling water. This is because electric kettles are specifically designed to quickly and efficiently heat water using less energy compared to a hotplate, which is a more versatile but slower option for heating water.
What would you add to your water to make it hotter?
You can heat water by boiling it either on the stove or using an electric kettle. Adding anything to water will not make it hotter, but boiling it will increase its temperature.
How is a kettle dangerouse?
A kettle can be dangerous if not used properly. Hot water can cause burns if spilled, the boiling water can cause scalding, and steam can cause injuries. Additionally, electric kettles can pose a risk of electric shock if not handled correctly.
What would happen if a kettle is filled to the max while the kettle is boiling?
If a kettle is overfilled while boiling, the boiling water can overflow, causing a mess and potentially a safety hazard. It is best to ensure there is enough space in a kettle to accommodate the water expanding as it boils.
