Question

the wires leading to an electric iron remains cold, while the element gets hot. why?

Answer 1

The heating element has high resistance whereas conducting wire has very little or negligible resistance. So conducting wire remain cold and element heats up.

Answer 2

Answer:

The wires leading to an electric iron remain cold, while the element gets red hot. Give reason. see, the heating element used in the electric iron has a very high resistance, so it gets heated up , while the wires leading to it, might be of copper, which has very low resistance, hence, it remains cool
