There are different compositions of nichrome, with different proportions
of nickel and chromium. Resistivity of the various alloys ranges between
1.0 x 10-6 to 1.5 x 10-6 ohm-meter.

Should the heating element of an electric iron be made of of iron Silver or nichrome wire?
It should be made of nichrome wire because resistivity of nichrome is high.Its high resistivity causes nichrome to heat up faster, when an electrical current is passed electricity moves through the wires, givingheat to the element.hope it helped
What is the meaning of nichrome and what is the use of it?

Is nichrome mixture compound or element and why?
Nichrome is a mixture compound. It is made by mixing few metal elements. Nichrome is an alloy.
How do you use NiChrome wire?
One use for NiChrome wire is to make electrical heating elements.
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 :)

Why does nichrome get hot?
Nichrome has a high electrical resistivity.
over what range of voltages does Nichrome wire follow Ohm,s law?
You can try to calculate the resistivity of nichrome? I mean the question is the resistivity of the material. Faughn, Jerry S., Raymond A. Serway. College Physics.
