Question -

Why are coils of electric toasters and electric irons made of an alloy rather than a pure metal?



Answer -

The melting point of an alloy is much higher than a pure metal because of its high resistivity. At high temperatures, alloys do not melt readily. Therefore, alloys are used in heating appliances such as electric toasters and electric irons.
