Question

Why are conductors of electric heating devices such as bread toaster and electric irons made of an alloy rather than a pure metal?

Answer 1

Hello there,

Alloys are used because :

1) They are having higher M.P and B.P. thanks their constituent elements.

2) They do not oxidize ( Burn ) in high temperature.

Hope u get it and plz mark it as the the brainliest.

Answer 2

The heating devices such as a toaster and an iron needs a large amount od heat to do the necessary work

The alloys have a very high resistance and high melting points which make them produce higher amount of heat rather than a pure metal when heated also they have a high melting point which means they wont melt easily

Thank you
