Question

Why are alloy coils used in electric toasters and electric irons instead of pure metal?

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. Alloys do not melt easily when the temperature is too high.
2. As a result, alloys are utilized in electric toasters and irons. In layman's terms, the coils of electric irons and toasters are built of an alloy because they have high resistance and thus, the heating effect of the current for the alloy is high.
3. These alloys lacked free electrons, making them heat conductors.
