प्रश्न
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.
