उत्तर
- The electric heater-cooker works on the principle of heating effect of electric current.
- Alloys (such as nichrome) as compared to metals have higher resistivity.
- Unlike metals they can be heated to higher temperature.
Hence, a coil made up of alloy nichrome is used in the electric heater-cooker as a resistor.
