ConceptHeating Effect of Electric Current

#### Question

The electrical resistivities of four materials P, Q, R and S are given below:

 P 6.84xx10^8Ωm Q 1.70xx10^8Ωm R  1.0xx10^15Ωm s 11.0xx10^-7Ωm

Which material will you use for making: (a) heating element of electric iron (b) connecting wires of electric iron (c) covering of connecting wires? Give reason for your choice in each case.

#### Solution

Material S will be used for making the heating element of an electric iron as it has a high resistivity .

Material Q will be used for making the connecting wires of an electric iron as it has a low resistivity

Material R will be used for making the covering of the connecting wires as it has an extremely high resistivity.

Is there an error in this question or solution?
