Question

Name the wire used in electric heater and responsible for heating.
Easy

Solution

Nichrome

Nichrome 80/20 (80% Nickel, 20% Chromium) wire, ribbon, or strip is used in most resistance wire heating components. Because it has a strong resistance and develops an adhesive layer of chromium oxide when heated for the first time, Nichrome 80/20 is an appropriate material.
