Explain why, the current that makes the heater element very hot, only slightly warms the connecting wires leading to the heater.

उत्तर
The current that makes the heater element very hot, only slightly warms the connecting wires leading to the heater because the connecting wires have a low resistance. So they do not get hot. But the heater element has a very high resistance and so it gets very hot.

Two students decided to investigate the effect of water and air on iron object under identical experimental conditions. They measured the mass of each object before placing it partially immersed in 10 ml of water. After a few days, the object were removed, dried and their masses were measured. The table shows their results.
| Student | Object | Mass of Object before Rusting in g |
Mass of the coated object in g |
| A | Nail | 3.0 | 3.15 |
| B | Thin plate | 6.0 | 6.33 |
What might be the reason for the varied observations of the two students?
