Question

why nichrome wire generally used as heating element in heating appliances? Give any three reasons​

Answer 1

$\huge\bold\purple{ANSWER}$

• 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 2

Answer:

1. it does not oxidize or burn easily

2. it has higher melting and boiling points

3. it has high resistivity implying higher resistance which creates heat faster.
