If you are reading voltage but no amperage on the heating element, it suggests that there is a break in the circuit within the heating element, preventing current flow. This could be due to a burnt-out heating element or a disconnected wire. The heating element likely needs to be replaced.

Yes heating element is burner assembly.

Heating element is the main part of the ironbox which gets heated as current passes through it. We have to use the material for heating element with features such as:

1) high melting point

2) high specific resistance

3) not easily oxidised. (most important point)

Hence the alloy NICHROME ( nickel and chromium) is used for heating element because it is not oxidised even at high temperatures.

Positive temperature coefficient heating element. Resistivity grow larger with higher temperatures so the heating element should be self regulating.

we wont use copper as a heating element because it expands on heating and it can effect the thermostat
