In the nichrome wire the heat will be produced at higher rate.
• The amount of heat produced by a conductor is dependent upon the following things -
1) Dimensions of the conductor.
2) Amount of flowing electricity.
3) Resistance of the conductor.
• Now,the first two things are same for the copper wire and nichrome wire.
• But,the amount of resistance of nichrome wire is much more than the amount of resistance of the copper wire.
• That's why,the amount of heat produced by the nichrome wire is more than the amount of heat produced by the copper wire.
