A toaster uses a pair of rigid insulating sheets with nichrome wire winding back and forth across the sheet, one on each side of each slot. The nichrome wire on these sheets form very high wattage air cooled resistors, when electricity flows through these wires they glow red hot (see image above) producing the heat that toasts the bread from both sides.

Why does a toaster draw a lot of current?
all electric heaters draw a lot of current (voltage times current = watts [or power]) and a toaster heats bread (no it toasts Bread)
What is the current running through a resistor of 9 ohms with volts of 90?
I = E / RIf the voltage across the resistor is 90 volts, and the resistance of the resistoris 9 ohms, then the current through the resistor is90/9 = 10 Amperes.Don't try this at home!The power dissipated by the resistor is E2/R = (90)2/9 = 900 watts. That's comparable to the power (heat) dissipated by a small toaster. A common composition resistor will get hot and possibly explode if it's asked to dissipate that kind of power.
What did William hadaway invent?
William Hadaway invented the electric stove in the year 1891 Than next he invented the toaster in 1910.
Which electrical device does not contain an electric motor?
A common electrical device that does not contain an electric motor is a toaster. Toasters operate using heating elements that generate heat to toast bread, without the need for a motor. Other examples include light bulbs and electric heaters, which also function through resistance and do not rely on mechanical movement.
What was the first commercial electric motor?
The first commercially-successful electric motors were made around 1873 by Zenobe Gramme, a Belgian engineer. His electric generators (dynamos) were based on machines invented by Italian physicist Antonio Pacinotti in 1860.
Why an electric toaster is considered a resistor?
An electric toaster is considered a resistor because it is designed to limit the flow of electric current, converting electrical energy into heat. The heating elements in the toaster have high resistance, causing them to heat up and toast the bread placed inside.
How does electrical energy produce a form of energy we use?
It can be run through a resistor to produce heat, as in a convector heater, tumble dryer, toaster. It can be used to run electric lights, and it can be used to drive electric motors that produce mechanical energy.
Is an electric toaster considered to be a load?
Yes, an electric toaster is considered to be a load in electrical terms. It consumes electrical energy to operate and convert it into heat for toasting bread. In a circuit, it draws current when connected to a power source, making it a load that contributes to the overall power consumption.
Does a toaster have a fuse?
Yes an electric toaster should have a fuse.
Does electric energy change to heat energy?
Yes, electric energy can be converted to heat energy through the resistance in a material. When an electric current flows through a resistor, such as a heating element in a toaster or electric stove, the resistance causes the electrical energy to be dissipated as heat.
What type of energy is traveling to the toaster?
Electric energy is traveling to the toaster through the power cord, which is then converted into heat energy in the toaster's heating elements to brown the bread.
Which company in vented the electric toaster?
general electric
Cost of first electric toaster?
(One Hug. :)) this is not a correct answer - the first electric toaster was invented in the early 1900's.
Why is it called toasting a marshmallow when it does not go in a toaster?
The toaster is a device that toasts, but toasting was done long before the invention of the electric toaster. Toasting on an open fire is undoubtedly the earliest method, which predates the electric toaster by countless thousands of years.
Which company known as the GEC invented the electric toaster?
The company known as the General Electric Company (GEC) is credited with inventing the electric toaster. General Electric Company, not to be confused with the American company General Electric (GE), was a British conglomerate that was founded in 1886. The electric toaster was a significant advancement in kitchen technology, allowing for more efficient and consistent toasting of bread compared to traditional methods.
What is the energy inside the toaster?
Electric energy
Did they have toaster's in the 1900s?
Yes. The first electric bread toaster was created by Maddy Kennedy in 1872.
