1.	Name three main characteristics of an heating element.
Answer» The three main characteristics of an heating element are: (i) It should have a high resistance so that a major amount of electric energy is converted into heat energy. (ii) It should not get oxidised easily up to a temperature of 1000°C. (iii) It should have a high melting point and a low thermal Expansion so that it does not get loosened on getting heated.
