Question

State why some common household appliances use high-resistance conductors while some use low-resistance conductors.

Answer 1

Some household appliances use high-resistance conductors because they are meant to produce heat. The high resistance converts electrical energy into heat energy. Examples include electric heaters, electric irons, and toasters.

Some household appliances use low-resistance conductors because they are designed to allow electric current to flow easily with minimum heat loss. Examples include connecting wires, fans, and electric motors.
