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 else can I help you with?
What purpose of heating element?
A heating element is used to generate heat in devices like ovens, toasters, and electric stoves. It converts electrical energy into heat through resistance, allowing these devices to cook or heat food.
What element combined with nickel it forms nichrome wire which is used in toasters and other devices where high elctrical resistances is desire to produce heat?
Chromium is the element that combined with nickel to form nichrome wire. The addition of chromium increases the wire's electrical resistivity, making it ideal for applications where high heat generation is needed, such as in toasters.
What do toasters have a lot of?
toasters obviously have alot of heat
What kind of wire is used in toasters?
Toasters typically use nichrome wire, an alloy of nickel and chromium, as their heating element. Nichrome is favored for its high resistance, which allows it to generate heat efficiently when electrical current passes through it. This wire can withstand high temperatures without oxidizing, making it ideal for the repetitive heating cycles in toasters.
What element heats elements in toasters?
It is nearly always Nichrome wire. The same is used for space heaters, etc.
What element is in the heating element for toasters?
The heating element in toasters typically consists of a resistance wire made from a material like nichrome. This metal alloy is chosen for its ability to efficiently convert electrical energy into heat, allowing the toaster to quickly and evenly toast bread.
Why are wires with high resistance used in light and toasters?
High resistance wires convert the energy used, into heat. That makes the toaster heat up or the light to turn on.
What element is used to make heating elements in toasters?
The most common alloy is the Swedish Kanthal (Fe, Cr,Al).
Why are wires with high resistance used in light bulbs and toasters?
High resistance wires convert the energy used, into heat. That makes the toaster heat up or the light to turn on.
What is a toasters maximum heat?
2500 decrees Fahrenheit
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.
Why are resistance materials used in toasters?
Because the main purpose of a toaster is to radiate heat. In order to generate heat from electric current, resistance is required in the circuit.
