The material of the heating element for a furnace should have___________?

Correct answer: C. high specific resistance

  • A. lower melting point
  • B. higher temperature coefficient
  • C. high specific resistance
  • D. all of the above

Explanation

A furnace element should have high specific resistance so it produces substantial heat with a practical length and current. It should also have a high melting point, so “lower melting point” and “all of the above” are unsuitable.
