Describe the structure of maximum & minimum thermometer
Answers
Answer:
Six's Maximum and Minimum thermometer is a U shaped parallel tube made up of glass. One side registers the maximum temperature and the other side records the minimum temperature. The bend at the bottom of the thermometer contains mercury which moves up or down based on the expansion and contraction of alcohol.
Explanation:
A maximum–minimum thermometer. The scales are Fahrenheit on the inside of the U and Celsius on the outside. The current temperature is 23 degrees Celsius, the maximum recorded is 25, and the minimum is 15, both read from the base of the small markers in each arm of the U tube. The bulbs are hidden by a plastic housing.

Answer:
The maximum and minimum thermometer:
It helps to measure the maximum and minimum temperature in a day of a place.
It is a U-shaped tube filled with alcohol and mercury.
The right tube gives us the maximum temperature while the left tube gives us the minimum temperature.
Working of maximum and minimum thermometer:
When the temperature increases, the alcohol in the left tube expands. This causes the mercury to move towards the right tube. A metal indices on the right tube also shifts which gives us the maximum temperature for that day.
When the temperature decreases, the alcohol contracts in the left tube and the mercury moves into the left tube. A metal indices in the left tube shift and give us the minimum temperature of the day.
