The Element of an electric heater is made of
a) Nichrome
b) Copper
c) Aluminum
d) None of these
Answers
Correct Answer is :option A- Nichrome
Reason :
Nichrome is an alloy with high melting point and high resistivity.
As it does not get oxidized easily.
On passing current it produces lot of heat and water gets heated
It works on the concept of heating effect of electric current.
Thanks for the question!
It is definitely a very interesting question to solve and do some brainstorming.
**************************************************
The Element of an electric heater is made of
a) Nichrome
Nichrome is composed of various alloys of nickel, chromium, and often iron. It is widely used as a resistance wire.
The chemical formula for Nichrome is NiCr.
Its specific gravity is 8.4.
It is highly resistant to heat, temperature oxidation and corrosion as well. Hence, it makes it suitable to be used in heaters.
