    which element?Β 
    A Silver Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Copper Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Lead Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Nichrome Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Nichrome β€’ It is a metal alloy made up of around 20 percent of chromium and 80 percent nickel. β€’ The key to the workings of an electrical heating element is the role of the nichrome in it. β€’ Nichrome has fast emerged as the leading alloy to be used in terms of electrical heating elements. β€’ For an electric iron heater element should have higher resistance, high melting point, and high specific heat. β€’ An element should have high resistance so that it can hold its configuration in a high voltage current. It should have a high melting point such that it can sustain high temperatures.
