Prepare a note on the working of the maximum-mini-mum thermometer.
Answer»
The maximum-minimum thermometer is the instrument for measuring the maximum and minimum temperature in a day.
Here the two thermometers are connected using a U – shaped glass tube.
The mercury-filled in the maximum thermometer expands with rise in temperature and pushes up the metal indicator.
The indicator remains at the position showing the maximum temperature of the day.
According to the position of the indicator the maximum temperature can be read at any time during a day.
The minimum thermometer has alcohol-filled above the indicator.
When the temperature falls the indicator is pushed up as the alcohol contract.
The minimum temperature can bread from the position of the indicator at any time.
