alloys are used in electical heating devices rather than pure metals. give reasons

Solution

Alloys have higher resistivity and thus there resistance's are high .The wire used as heating element of heating device is highly resistive. According to Joule 's heating law it converts the electrical energy into light and heat energy and the heat produced is directly proportional to resistance of heating element.
