Why are the coils of electric toasters and electric irons made of an alloy rather than a pure metal? |
|
Answer» SOLUTION :Coils of electric toasters and electric IRONS are made of an ALLOY DUE to the following two reasons: (i) Resistivity of an alloy is generally higher than that of pure metals, hence for a given resistance we need a coil of LESSER length. (ii) At high temperature, an alloy does not oxidise readily. Hence, coil of an alloy has longer life. |
