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.
Ni chrome is a low resistance wire used in heaters and toasters.
High resistance wires convert the energy used, into heat. That makes the toaster heat up or the light to turn on.

Toasters and lightbulbs.AnswerA resistor is an circuit component. So, while toasters and light bulbs have resistance, they are not resistors!
Electricity
Yes. resistance in wires within the toaster causes those wires to become very hot.
Pigskin plastic
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.
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.
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.
Nichrome wires typically have high resistance compared to other wires, making them suitable for applications requiring heat generation like in toasters or hair dryers.
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.
