Question

The essential requirements for a good heating element are _________________.
  1. High resistivity and high melting point
  2. Low resistivity and low melting point
  3. High resistivity and low melting point
  4. Low resistivity and high melting point

A
High resistivity and high melting point
B
High resistivity and low melting point
C
Low resistivity and low melting point
D
Low resistivity and high melting point
Solution
Verified by Toppr

The correct option is B High resistivity and high melting point
ESSENTIAL REQUIREMENTS OF GOOD HEATING ELEMENT High-specific resistance so that small length of wire may be required to provide given amount of heat. High-melting point so that it can withstand for high temperature, a small increase in temperature will not destroy the element.
