insulating board so that the entire portion is approximately 4 inches long. The nichrome wire produces heat rapidly with an electric current due to the high level of electrical resistance that the twisted wire holds. This preview has intentionally blurred sections.
The energy needed to push the electrons from one point to another point is called voltage or volts. The total amount of electrons flowing through a wire is called current and is measured in amperes or amps. It is similar to the amount of water flowing through a hose. Bigger hoses can move more water, and bigger wires can move more electrons. The more current (amps), the more force, just like the hose.
