nichrome is used to make the element of electric heater.why?

Answer 1

Nichrome is used to make the element of electric heater
--------------------------
Nichrome is an alloy which will have relatively higher resistance than that of metals and they also conduct electricity as the electricity flows through them , the nichrome gets heated up very fast resulting in the faster heating and alloys have very high melting pints so they wont melt easily which increases the durability of the heater 

Answer 2

Answer:

In short Nichrome is an resistive alloy. As a heating wire it has amazing and useful properties :

* high melting point

* high resistance

* chemical inertness

* non-magnetic

* good mechanical properties.
