What else can I help you with?
Items that use low resistance wire?
Ni chrome is a low resistance wire used in heaters and toasters.
Why are wires with high resistance used in light and toasters?
High resistance wires convert the energy used, into heat. That makes the toaster heat up or the light to turn on.
Why are wires with high resistance used in light bulbs and toasters?
High resistance wires convert the energy used, into heat. That makes the toaster heat up or the light to turn on.
What products use Variable resistor?
Toasters and lightbulbs.AnswerA resistor is an circuit component. So, while toasters and light bulbs have resistance, they are not resistors!
What is used in heating toasters?
Electricity
Do toasters work because of the heating effect of an electric current?
Yes. resistance in wires within the toaster causes those wires to become very hot.
What plastic is used to make toasters?
Pigskin plastic
What are uses for nichrome?
Nichrome is commonly used in heating elements for toasters, hair dryers, and ovens due to its high resistance to heat and electricity. It is also used in the manufacturing of electric stovetops and industrial furnaces.
What are the materials used to make toasters and their function?
Toasters are primarily made from metal, such as stainless steel or aluminum, which provides durability and effective heat conduction. The interior components typically include nichrome wire for heating elements, which generates heat when electricity passes through it. Insulating materials like plastic or ceramic are used to prevent heat transfer to the exterior, ensuring safety. Additionally, glass is sometimes used for the toaster's exterior to allow users to see the toasting process.
What periodic table element is used in toasters?
From what I can tell, there are actually 3 of them... Nickel (Ni), Chromium (Cr), and Iron (Fe). The three are combined in certain percentages to make an allow called "Nichrome", as it has high electrical resistivity, a high melting point, and won't oxidize (or rust) at high temperatures.
What materials has a strong resistance to the flow of electrons?
Materials such as rubber, glass, and plastic have strong resistance to the flow of electrons. They are considered insulators and are used to prevent the flow of electricity in many applications.
What kind of wires has the highest resistance?
Nichrome wires typically have high resistance compared to other wires, making them suitable for applications requiring heat generation like in toasters or hair dryers.
