Answer:

Bimetals work with the propensity of metals to expand when heated, and contract when cooled.

  • The resulting change of curvature, or bending, in response to temperature change, is a fundamental property of all thermostatic bimetals.
  • In effect, the temperature change is converted into mechanical displacement.

Uses of Bimetal Strip :

  • Bimetal strips are used in miniature circuit breakers to protect circuits from excess current.
  • A coil of wire is used to heat a bimetal strip, which bends and operates a linkage that unlatches a spring-operated contact.
  • This interrupts the circuit and can be reset when the bimetal strip has cooled down.
