What is the product of burning nichrome in air?
Nichrome is not flammable.
Does copper conduct electricity better than nichrome?
yes it does -------------------- You might say they are polar-opposites. Copper is specifically used where low resistance is desired. NiChrome is often used as a resistance wire. For example, model rocket engines utilize nichrome wire to ignite the fuel because the resistant wire will glow red-hot when electric power is applied.
What are constituents of Nichrome?
The basic constituents of nichrome are nickel and chromium that offer intense corrosion resistance features to alloy at the broad temperature limits.
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 type of metal is stove top element?
Stove-top elements are typically made from a metal alloy, usually a combination of nickel and chromium, known as nichrome. Nichrome is chosen for its high resistance to heat and its ability to generate consistent heat when an electric current passes through it.
What wire is used for an immersion heater?
An immersion electric heater usually uses nichrome wire as the heating element. Nichrome is highly resistive, and by applying a voltage, we can get it pretty hot. Nichrome is used as the heating element in toasters and on electric range elements as well as lots of other places.
What is the product of burning nichrome in air?
Nichrome is not flammable.
Does nichrome wire get red hot when current is passed through it?
Yes, nichrome wire gets red hot when current is passed through it due to its high resistance, which causes it to generate heat. This property is used in applications such as heating elements in appliances.

What elements is in heating elements in toaster?
Nichrome but nichrome is made out of nickel and chromium
Nichrome patented when?
1987
Should the heating element of an electric iron be made of of iron Silver or nichrome wire?
It should be made of nichrome wire because resistivity of nichrome is high.Its high resistivity causes nichrome to heat up faster, when an electrical current is passed electricity moves through the wires, givingheat to the element.hope it helped
What element is used in heating element in toasters?
Nichrome but nichrome is made out of nickel and chromium
Coil in heater is made of what?
nichrome
Will a nichrome wire light up when heated?
Nichrome is a name for a nickel- chromium resistance wire, a nonmagnetic alloy of nickel and chromium. Common alloy is 80% nickel and 20% chromium, by weight. Silvery-grey in colour, corrosion resistant and has a high melting point of 1400 C (2552 F). Due to it's high resistivity and resistance to oxidation at high temperatures, it's widely used in heating elements, such as in hair dryers, electric ovens and toasters. Typically, Nichrome is wound in wire coils to a certain electrical resistance, and current passed through to produce heat. For heating, resistance wire must be stable in air when hot. Nichrome wire forms a protective layer of chromium oxide. Kimber :)

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.
