Because the main purpose of a toaster is to radiate heat. In order to

generate heat from electric current, resistance is required in the circuit.

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 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 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 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.


What is the meaning of nichrome and what is the use of it?

Nichrome is a non-magnetic alloy used in heating elements due to its high resistivity and resistance to oxidation. It is commonly used in appliances such as toasters, ovens, and hair dryers to convert electrical energy into heat.
