What element is used to make heating elements in toasters?
The most common alloy is the Swedish Kanthal (Fe, Cr,Al).
Do toasters have a motor?
No. Toasters generally have heating elements, a mechanical or electronic timer, and a spring loaded tray on which toastable items rest. There are some larger industrial model toasters that do have electric motors that pass toastable items past the heating element, typically on a chain belt, but the toaster in your kitchen is not likely one of these.
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.
Is mica a good electrical insulator?
First AnswerYes it is and it can also withstand heat. For many years mica was used in toasters to make a framework to hold the heating elements.Next AnswerActually mica is a very good electrical INSULATOR, but is a good THERMAL conductor, which is why it was used for holding heating elements.
What element is in the heating element for toasters?
That would most likely be a nickel and chrome alloy. Light bulbs use tungsten.
What plastic is used to make toasters?
Pigskin plastic
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.
Heating Effect of Electric Current advantage?
Reliable, simple and safe. Heat can be regulated by changing the resistance in the circuit.
Do toasters work because of the heating effect of an electric current?
Yes. resistance in wires within the toaster causes those wires to become very hot.
What are cachapas?
they are used as an appetiizer like cornbread is in americai
What do toasters have a lot of?
toasters obviously have alot of heat
