Why are electric heaters 100 percent efficient?
All the power absorbed by the heating element and the connecting wire is converted into heat, leading to the 100% efficiency figure.
When checking an electric heating element you read voltage but no amperage What can you determine about the heating element?
the element has a open in it !
WHY do the connecting wires used in electric circuits not produce any heating effect?
because of its covering.
Where is the heating element on a maytag Neptune dryer?
The heating element is on the bottom in the back, if you pull the front base panel off, you can look back and see the element against the back of the dryer. You can undo two screws and pull the element out. "MAKE SURE TO UNPLUG THE DRYER FIRST SO YOU DO NOT GET SHOCKED" Jeremy
What element is in the heating element for toasters?
That would most likely be a nickel and chrome alloy. Light bulbs use tungsten.
What is the difference between connecting wire and heating element?
The connecting wire will be thicker and made of a low resistance material to allow electricity to flow with minimal losses. The element requires a thinner wire with higher resistivity which causes it to heat when electricity passes through.

Does a gas dryer have a heating element?
Yes heating element is burner assembly.
What is a ptc heating element?
Positive temperature coefficient heating element. Resistivity grow larger with higher temperatures so the heating element should be self regulating.
Why you won't use copper as heating element?
we wont use copper as a heating element because it expands on heating and it can effect the thermostat

What are some limitations of using heating to determine whether the substance is an element or a compound?
limitation of heating element
Why your cloth dryer works but not heating?
the heating element is gone out
Does the wire in the electrical cord of an electric have a higher or lower resistance than the Heating element inside the kettle?
The wire in the cord has much lower resistance than the heating element. The heating element is a resistive or resistance heating element. Resistance in the quality of a substance or material that causes it to limit current flow, and it get heated up in the process. The heating element has all but the smallest fraction of the resistance in the circuit, so the heat, that thermal energy that get the water hot, is generated by the resistance of the heating element.
