Question

what prevents the mercury level from falling on its own in clinical thermometer​

Answer 1

Answer:

Kink

In clinical thermometers, there is a small bent at the bottom of the tube containing mercury. It is called a kink. The kink prevents the mercury level from falling down on its own. Due to this, the temperature does not decrease immediately after removing the thermometer from the mouth.
