What has more resistance a nichrome wire or a copper wire?
A nichrome wire has more resistance than a copper wire. This is because nichrome is made of a nickel-chromium alloy that has higher resistivity compared to copper, which allows it to impede the flow of electricity more effectively.
Does copper conduct electricity better than nichrome?
yes it does -------------------- You might say they are polar-opposites. Copper is specifically used where low resistance is desired. NiChrome is often used as a resistance wire. For example, model rocket engines utilize nichrome wire to ignite the fuel because the resistant wire will glow red-hot when electric power is applied.
Is copper a coumpound?
No Copper is a chemical element rather than a compound.
Why does the nichrome wire get heated first than copper wire?
Because Copper is an excellent conductor of electricity it would take too much copper wire to make an element having sufficient resistance to fit into the small space provided in any normally-sized electric heater. For that reason heating elements must be made from metals which have a much higher electrical resistance than Copper. Special alloys of metals such as Iron, Cobalt, Nickel, Zinc and Manganese have been invented for this purpose.
Why is nichrome used for heating element in a toaster?
A nichrome wire has high resistance and gets heated faster, saving electricity.
What are the reasons an architect might choose copper rather than zinc for a roof?

Do asset management systems benefit a business, rather than a home?
Busniess management systems will benefit a business rather than a home. Their are more assets to a busness rather than a home. The inventory in a home it typically at time substantially less and would be be in need of a management system.
What alloy is nichrome made of?
nichrome alloy is made by mixing up of the metals nickel and chromium.
What are examples of ductile rocks?
In order to be ductile a rock usually must be very hot. Rocks in lowest part of the crust and in the mantle (apart from the lithosphere) are usually ductile. Rock salt often exhibits ductile behavior as well.
Are copper penny's insulators?
Copper pennies are conductors of electricity rather than insulators. Copper is a metal that allows electric current to flow through it easily due to its free-flowing electrons.
What are the advantages of using copper gutters rather than other materials?
Copper gutters have the advantage of not rusting, although they are more expensive to install. Annual maintenance must be performed to prevent the copper from tarnishing.
Is copper surface hydrophobic?
No, copper surfaces are typically hydrophilic, meaning they have an affinity for water and will readily allow water to spread across the surface rather than bead up.
