Nichrome and copper wire of same length and same radius are connected in series current is passed through them which wire gets heated up more justify your answer
a. Nichrome wire gets heated up more because it has higher resistance compared to copper wire.
b. Copper wire gets heated up more because it has higher conductivity compared to nichrome wire.
c. Both wires get heated up equally because they are connected in series and experience the same current.
d. It depends on the current passing through the wires and their specific heat capacities, as well as the ambient temperature.
