Question

What material would make the best heating element for an electric range? A.a conductor surrounded by an insulator B.a conductor, which carries electric currents C. a resistor, which converts some electric energy to thermal energy D.an insulator, which stops the flow of electricity

Answer 1

Answer:

It's C

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

The best heating element should be a resistor, which converts some electric energy to thermal energy. Option C. is correct.

Explanation:

• The heating element converts the electrical energy to heat energy.
• The heating element should be a conducting device.

The heating element should not be an insulator because it would not be able to carry a current. The melting point and the specific resistance should be high. The high specific resistance would provide a high value of thermal energy.

So, the best heating element should be a resistor, which converts some electric energy to thermal energy.

Option C. is correct.
