What has more resistance a nichrome wire or a copper wire?

Nichrome wire has such high resistance that it is used to convert electrical energy into heat. Many heating elements are made from nichrome. Copper wire has the best conductivity, for the price, of any metal.


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.


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


Why is a copper wire in a closed circuit does not get heated but a nichrome does?

this is because copper wire offers no resistance and thus electric current passes through them without producing heat energy whereas in nichrome offers a large resistance and thus the mechanical energy of the drifting electrons changes to heat energy rapidly .


How do you use NiChrome wire?

One use for NiChrome wire is to make electrical heating elements.


Is the silver speaker wire copper?

Yes; it is tinned copper.


What type of mixture is copper wire in silver nitrate?

When you place copper wire in a silver nitrate solution, your result should be a heterogeneous mixture.


If silver is a better conductor than copper then why is copper wire used in daily life instead of silver wire?

The price of copper today is $3.43 a pound. The price of silver today is $12.90 an ounce. Copper is much cheaper.


How do you test the copper two ions?

A Flame Test. Using a platinum or nichrome wire. Clean the wire in hydrochloric acid, Then dip the wire into a solution containing copper(II) ions. e.g. copper sulphate solution. The pass the wire through a Bunsen burner flame. The flame should burn a green/blue colour.


Is it likely that wires in a toaster are made of copper?

yes it is likely that the wires in a toaster are made of copper and not silver,because wire is a type of conductor which would help the toaster resume working


What kind of reaction takes place when a copper wire is added to a beaker of silver nitrate?

The copper and silver will combust.


What is inside a fuse?

There's a thin metal wire with a low melting point inside a fuse.It may be a nichrome wire.However copper wire is not suitable to be the thin wire inside a fuse cause it has a very high melting point.
