You can find many self-regulating systems in your home, such as irons, ovens and central heating.

Electric irons contain a metallic strip that acts as a thermostat. The metal bends into a curve when heated. As the iron heats and the strip bends, one end of it moves away and opens an electric contact. With the contact open, no current flows, and the iron begins to cool.
