The substance that is heat resistant will withstand high temperatures longer than a similar substance that isn't considered heat resistant.

compare to Fire resistant and Flame resistant

while flame/fire resistance is a function of combustibility, heat resistance is usually associated with the shape the substance normally retains.

example?

Ice melts at 32F (aka zero C)

so if someone could invent an Ice Sculpture that didn't melt until 132F (or even 60F) they could call it heat resistant (and make a fortune to boot)

A thicker resistance wire produces more heat?

I'm not sure what you mean by "thicker resistance" wire? The thicker or more diameter of a wire the less resistance it has. A larger diameter wire would produce less heat. More resistance would produce more heat.


Do alloys produce heat resistance?

Alloys can add heat resistance to a metal


What do you mean by 'cold resistance' and 'hot resistance'?

Metals that make up typical resistors (and many other electrical components for that matter) tend to heat up as current flows through them. "COLD" resistance is the resistance before it is operating and "HOT" resistance is the resistance after some operating time has elapsed.


Does high resistance mean higher heat?

Not necessarily. High resistance typically results in more heat dissipation within a material or component due to increased electrical energy being converted to heat. However, other factors like material properties, current flow, and environment can also influence the generation of heat.


How much heat is created with a resistance?

Power consumed by a resistance is I2R


The r value of insulation indicate resistance to heat flow?

yes the R-value does indicate resistance to heat flow


what is a cold resistance and hot resistance?

"Cold Resistance" as would be measured by an ohm-meter or digital multimeter and a "Hot Resistance". The latter is a phenomenem of the material used for forming the the resistance itself, it has a temperature co-efficient which often once heated alters the initial resistance value, usually dramatically upward. Heat resistance is able to resist and remain unaffected by heat heat-resistant gels are used in stage lighting These table mats are heat-resistant up to 100 degrees Celsius. The outside of the space shuttle is covered in heat-resistant tiles. Transfer the liquid to a heat-resistant bowl.


What is the heat resistance of aluminum foil tape?

The heat resistance of aluminum foil tape is typically around 600 degrees Fahrenheit.


Wires with high resistance change electrical energy into what?

Wires with high resistance change electrical energy into heat energy. This occurs due to the resistance in the wire hindering the flow of electrons, causing them to collide and generate heat.


What is relationship between resistance and heat as electricity flows through a wire?

As electricity flows through a wire, resistance causes some of the electrical energy to be converted into heat. The heat produced is proportional to the amount of current flowing through the wire and the resistance of the wire. Higher resistance in the wire will result in more heat being generated.


What do you mean by heating effect of current?

Current flowing through any conductor encounters resistance in that conductor. This resistance produces heat. (Think of tires on a car after driving on the highway. Smooth trip, but a small amount of friction (resistance) is inevitable.


What is effect of resistance in heat production in a current carrying conductor?

resistance will be high
