Do solders melt at the operating temperature of a heater?
Fastfrankyj
Good question. There are a few simple answers. Most solders begin to become "plastic" at around 350 degrees Fahrenheit and melt at slightly higher temperatures than even that.
If you are asking about a hot water heater: If you are operating your water heating system at that temperature the water will have already boiled off and most likely the heater will either have exploded, the P/T relief valve dumped or both.
If you are asking about an electric heater, do not try to melt solder on it. The heating element is electrically "hot" and could present an extreme shock hazard.
The best way to melt solder is with with a soldering iron or some kind of torch.
Hope this helps

Why are current and resistance kept very low?
It depends in which application, in motors you want to keep amperage low so that the brushes will last (and not melt) and so the armature coil can maintain temperature (along with the field coil) Let me know which application you mean! Otherwise, in general, amperage kept low is good so that you can keep wire temperature low and maintain the electronics you're dealing with.
What is fusing current?
The fusing current is a value of current that causes the fuse to melt and interrupt the flow of current. Usually, reference is made to the minimum fusing current which is the smallest value of current that will cause the fuse to melt.

What sterling silver to use for soldering jewelry?
Typically one solders sterling silver with silver solders. There is not a solder called "sterling solder." You can choose from an array of silver solders ranging from easy (extra soft) through hard. Soft solders have lower silver content and melt at a lower temperature. Hard solders have higher silver content and flow at higher temperatures. If you are doing multiple solder joints on a single piece of solder you will need to use several grades of solder. However, if you are just creating a single solder joint than it is best to use a soft or medium solder.
