  2. Joule heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joule_heating

    Joule heating (also known as resistive, resistance, or Ohmic heating) is the process by which the passage of an electric current through a conductor produces heat.. Joule's first law (also just Joule's law), also known in countries of the former USSR as the Joule–Lenz law, [1] states that the power of heating generated by an electrical conductor equals the product of its resistance and the ...

  3. Heating element - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heating_element

    A coiled heating element from an electric toaster. Resistance wires are very long and slender resistors that have a circular cross-section. Like conductive wire, the diameter of resistance wire is often measured with a gauge system, such as American Wire Gauge (AWG). [7]

  4. Electric heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_heating

    An immersion heater has an electrical resistance heating element encased in a tube, placed in the water (or other fluid) to be heated. The heating element might be inserted directly into the liquid, or installed inside a metal pipe to protect against corrosion and facilitate maintenance.

  5. Self-regulating heater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-regulating_heater

    A positive-temperature-coefficient heating element (PTC heating element), or self-regulating heater, is an electrical resistance heater whose resistance increases significantly with temperature. The name self-regulating heater comes from the tendency of such heating elements to maintain a constant temperature when supplied by a given voltage.

  6. Nichrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nichrome

    Nichrome (also known as NiCr, nickel-chromium or chromium-nickel) is a family of alloys of nickel and chromium (and occasionally iron [1]) commonly used as resistance wire, heating elements in devices like toasters, electrical kettles and space heaters, in some dental restorations (fillings) and in a few other applications.

  7. Electrical resistance heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistance_heating

    Electrical resistance heating (ERH) is an intensive in situ environmental remediation method that uses the flow of alternating current electricity to heat soil and groundwater and evaporate contaminants. [1] Electric current is passed through a targeted soil volume between subsurface electrode elements.

  8. Electrical resistance and conductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistance_and...

    Resistors (and other elements with resistance) oppose the flow of electric current; therefore, electrical energy is required to push current through the resistance. This electrical energy is dissipated, heating the resistor in the process. This is called Joule heating (after James Prescott Joule), also called ohmic heating or resistive heating.

  9. Kanthal (alloy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanthal_(alloy)

    For heating, resistance wire must be stable in air when hot. Kanthal FeCrAl alloy forms a protective layer of aluminium oxide (). [1]Aluminium oxide has high thermal conductivity but is an electrical insulator, so special techniques may be required to make good electrical connections.
