Question

Why are alloys commonly used in electrical heating devices? Give reason.

Answer 1

Answer:

Alloys are used instead of the pure metals in the electrical heating devices because they have the less electrical conductivity with the less melting point. So that's why the alloys are used in the electrical appliances.

Answer 2

Answer

Reasons for alloys being used in electrical heating devices:

⇸ high resistivity

⇸ high melting point

⇸ do not oxidize or burn) readily at high temperatures
