What material is used to make the kettle heating element?
a kettle is made out of metal
What happen to the heating element if lower power supplied to an electric kettle via transformer?
it won't get as hot
Does the wire in the electrical cord of an electric kettle have a higher or lower resistance than the heating element inside the kettle?
The wire in the cord has much lower resistance than the heating element. The heating element is a resistive or resistance heating element. Resistance in the quality of a substance or material that causes it to limit current flow, and it get heated up in the process. The heating element has all but the smallest fraction of the resistance in the circuit, so the heat, that thermal energy that get the water hot, is generated by the resistance of the heating element.
What will happen if the heating element is near the top of an electric kettle?
The kettle will be less efficient because it won't be benefitting from the effects of convection currents. It will use considerably more energy.
Does cordless kettle mean that the heating element is not in cotact with water?
no. it means that the kettle can be unplugged from the electricity source. the heating source is in touch with water, as it is located inside the kettle :)
What is an electric element?
An electric element is a metal part inside a kettle that makes the wate get hot

How does a Crofton Electric Water Kettle work?
There is a heating element in the kettle. As the water boils, the inner temperature of the kettle rises. Once the boiling temperature is reached, a small thermostat is triggered which turns the kettle off, so as to not boil continually. This thermostat works optimally with the lid on the kettle fully closed, if the lid is not fully closed, it does not switch the kettle off as quickly.
Why is the element at the bottom in a electric kettle?
It is not an element... for hard water usually a build up calcium compounds.
How Ford Ranger block heater works?
same way as any other block heater... ========================================================== Your Ford Ranger block heater is just like the heating element in an electric kettle . As long as the electric block heater is plugged in to an electric outlet that has power to it , the block heater keeps on heating the engine coolant if everything is working correctly
Which materials are used in heating elements and why?
Many heating elements use Nichrome 80/20 (80% nickel, 20% chromium). It is an ideal material because of its relatively high resistance. When heated for the first time it forms a protective coating made of of chromium oxide, beneath which the heating element cannot oxidize. The oxide coating prevents the wire inside from burning away or breaking, even if submerged in water, such as inside an electric kettle or large water heater. Usually the element is well insulated and fully embedded into an outer copper housing which is chrome plated to help delay corrosion from the surrounding water which it heats. If you look inside many electric kettles made since 1991 the heating element is not immediately visible because it is bonded onto the underside (i.e. the dry side) of the internal metal base plate. Such hidden elements work very well but have the disadvantage that, when an element burns out it cannot be replaced, so a new kettle has to be bought. However it is still a good system because the parts and labor costs for replacing one of the old types of replaceble heating element are much more than the cost of buying a new kettle.
How water heat in a kettle?
When you put the switch on, the electricity goes thought the wires heating the melt prongs, which heats the kettle and the water. When you put the switch on, the electricity goes thought the wires heating the melt prongs, which heats the kettle and the water.
