Answer:
Nichrome is used for making heating element of electrical appliances. Because nichrome does not oxidize and burn easily at high temperature i.e.it has higher melting and boiling point than metals. Thus it does not melt even when a large amount of heat is produced due to passage of current.

Answer:
A nichrome wire is used as a heating element because of its high melting point and high resistivity (low conductivity) also. Having a high melting does not allow the nichrome wire to melt easily when a large amount of heat is produced. ... Hence, nichrome has high resistivity and low conductivity.
