Question

How does heating element work in an electric heater?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. A typical heating element is usually a coil, ribbon, or strip of wire that gives off heat much like a lamp filament.

2. When an electric current flows through it, it glows red hot and converts the electrical energy passing through it into heat, which radiates out in all directions.

3. Electric radiators make heat with glowing red bars, while electric convector heaters generally have concentric, circular heating elements positioned in front of electric fans.

Answer 2

• Good conductor carriers of electricity are called conductors while the poor carriers are known as insulators.

• Resistors work by electric energy convert into heat energy.

• The heating element is usually a coil, ribbon,strip.

• An electric flow through it, it glows red hot convert electric energy into heat energy.

• The Heating element is generally Nickel-based or iron-based .

• Nickel-based are consist 80% of nickel and 20 % chromium.

• The power produced or consumed by a flow of electricity is equal to the voltage times the current.
