Which of the following is NOT a desirable property in a good heating element?

Which of the following is NOT a desirable property in a good heating element?

Right Answer is:

High temperature coefficient of resistance

SOLUTION

Properties of good Heating Element:

The performance and life of heating elements depend on the properties of the material used for the heating element. The required properties in the material used for heating elements are:

  • Low-temperature coefficient of resistance.
  • High melting point.
  • Free from oxidation in an open atmosphere.
  • High tensile strength.
  • Sufficient ductility to draw the metal or alloy in the form of wire.
  • High resistivity.
