What is the difference between digital and mercury thermometer?

Digital thermometers measure electrical resistance and Mercury thermometers measure thermal expansion.


What is the Difference between digital and clinical thermometer?

A digital thermometer uses electronic sensors to measure temperature and displays the reading on a screen, while a clinical thermometer contains a liquid (like mercury) that expands or contracts with temperature changes. Digital thermometers are typically faster and more accurate, while clinical thermometers are being phased out due to risks associated with the handling and disposal of mercury.


Why is digital thermometer is better than mercury thermometer?

Digital thermometers are preferred over mercury thermometers because they are more accurate, faster, and safer to use. Digital thermometers provide a digital reading, eliminating the risk of parallax error associated with reading a mercury level. Additionally, digital thermometers do not contain mercury, making them safer for the environment and in case of accidental breakage.


Mercury thermometer analog or digital device?

A mercury thermometer is an analog device because it relies on the expansion of liquid mercury to indicate temperature. Digital thermometers, on the other hand, use electronic sensors to measure temperature and display the reading digitally.


What are three different sorts of thermomenters?

Mercury thermometer: uses the expansion of mercury to measure temperature. Digital thermometer: uses electronic sensors to quickly and accurately measure temperature. Infrared thermometer: measures temperature by detecting the infrared energy emitted by an object.

Mention any two points of difference between a clinical thermometer and an ordinary mercury thermometer?

A clinical thermometer will offer more precise calibrated readings than a mercury thermometer. The range of measurable temperature differs between a clinical and a mercury thermometer with the mercury thermometer having the wider range.

How many minutes do you take a rectal temperature?

If using a mercury thermometer - about a minute. A digital thermometer - a few seconds.


Which thermometer is best for baby?

A digital thermometer is less 'intrusive' - as you don't need to hold it in place for any length of time (as you would with a mercury thermometer). Digital ones give you an almost instant reading.

How does a digital thermometer measure temperature if mercury is not present in it?

A digital thermometer measures temperature using a sensor (such as a thermistor or infrared sensor) that detects changes in electrical resistance or infrared radiation as temperature changes. This information is then converted into a digital readout on the display of the thermometer. Mercury is not required in digital thermometers as they rely on electronic sensors instead.

Is a mercury thermometer an example of an analog or digital sensor?

analogue, since it doesn't use electronics
