Nichrome wires are heat resistant than copper wires. Hence they are used in Kettles to convert electrical energy into heat energy.

What type of metal is stove top element?
Iron - or an alloy of iron with other elements such as chromium and/or tungsten.
What are uses for nichrome?
Nichrome is used in explosives and fireworks industry
What element is found in a toaster?
Iron, nickel and Mica are the commonly used minerals to make up a toaster. Iron is in the steel grilling apparatus, Nickel is for the heating, and Mica is for the cord insulation and plug.
Do quartz toaster heating elements have a non-stick coating?
The quartz glass used in heating elements is used because it's transparent to infrared wavelengths of light. The glass has no coating whatsoever.
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
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.
Why is nichrome used in the heating element an electric kettle?
someone pls say the answer to this cuz i need it ;-;
What type of metal is stove top element?
Iron - or an alloy of iron with other elements such as chromium and/or tungsten.
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 material is used to make the kettle heating element?
a kettle is made out of metal
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.
What element is used in heating element in toasters?
Nichrome but nichrome is made out of nickel and chromium
What material is used to make the heating coils of electrical heating device and why?
Nichrome
Which heating element is used in a heater?
Heating element is the main part of the ironbox which gets heated as current passes through it. We have to use the material for heating element with features such as: 1) high melting point 2) high specific resistance 3) not easily oxidised. (most important point) Hence the alloy NICHROME ( nickel and chromium) is used for heating element because it is not oxidised even at high temperatures.
What element is used in electroplating and nichrome wire?
nickel!
What has more resistance a nichrome wire or a copper wire?
Nichrome wire has such high resistance that it is used to convert electrical energy into heat. Many heating elements are made from nichrome. Copper wire has the best conductivity, for the price, of any metal.
What element heats elements in toasters?
It is nearly always Nichrome wire. The same is used for space heaters, etc.
