What periodic table element is used in toasters?
From what I can tell, there are actually 3 of them... Nickel (Ni), Chromium (Cr), and Iron (Fe). The three are combined in certain percentages to make an allow called "Nichrome", as it has high electrical resistivity, a high melting point, and won't oxidize (or rust) at high temperatures.
How many volts is used in toaster?
In the United States toasters run on 120 volts.
What are 3 things that visible light can be emitted by?
stars, flashlights, toasters, CFLs, LEDs, fireflies
What element is in the heating element for toasters?
That would most likely be a nickel and chrome alloy. Light bulbs use tungsten.
What are some examples of cookworks products?
Cookworks produces a range of products such as the travel kettle, slow cookers, mini ovens, 4-slice toasters, bread makers, juicers, food processors and blenders.
What element is used in heating element in toasters?
Nichrome but nichrome is made out of nickel and chromium
What element heats elements in toasters?
It is nearly always Nichrome wire. The same is used for space heaters, etc.
What wire is used for an immersion heater?
An immersion electric heater usually uses nichrome wire as the heating element. Nichrome is highly resistive, and by applying a voltage, we can get it pretty hot. Nichrome is used as the heating element in toasters and on electric range elements as well as lots of other places.

Which type of substance would you use as a heating coil in an electric toasters?
I believe I would select NiChrome wire. It has a high resistance for a metal and is not particularly toxic or expensive.
How is toast made?
Toasters use Nichrome Wire that is wrapped around a Mica Sheet. Nichrome Wire produces infared radiation. This produces the heat that "toasts" the bread. You can usually see this yourself! When the coils inside the toaster start to become red, that means the Nichrome wire is starting to produce infared Radiation.A timer is set to stop the Nichrome Wire from producing heat, and a spring-loaded tray pops the toast out of its slot.
What element is combined with nickel to form the stuff used in toasters?
Presumably you're using the word "stuff" to refer to the heating element.... Toaster heating elements generally have wires made of a metal called "Nichrome", which as its name suggests is an alloy of nickel and chromium. Occasionally the alloy will contain some iron as well.
What element is used to heat toasters?
Element, meaning a heating element and not a natural element. The heating element is made by wrapping 'nichrome' wire around a flat sheet of Mica composite board. This then glows red hot, when mains electricity is applied to it. Nichrome is an alloy of Nickel and chromium. Chosen because it has electrical resistance and can stand repeated heating and cooling without melting.
What is the science knowledge involved in how toasters work?
It's all Physics. The basic fact is that when you pass enough electricity through Nichrome wire it will get hot from its electrical resistance . Also different toasting levels take different heat and/or time to accomplish.
Will a nichrome wire light up when heated?
Nichrome is a name for a nickel- chromium resistance wire, a nonmagnetic alloy of nickel and chromium. Common alloy is 80% nickel and 20% chromium, by weight. Silvery-grey in colour, corrosion resistant and has a high melting point of 1400 C (2552 F). Due to it's high resistivity and resistance to oxidation at high temperatures, it's widely used in heating elements, such as in hair dryers, electric ovens and toasters. Typically, Nichrome is wound in wire coils to a certain electrical resistance, and current passed through to produce heat. For heating, resistance wire must be stable in air when hot. Nichrome wire forms a protective layer of chromium oxide. Kimber :)
What do toasters have a lot of?
toasters obviously have alot of heat
When did Stray Toasters happen?
Stray Toasters happened in 1988.
