[ He removes the lid and holds the kettle so Carlisle can see the heating element at the bottom. ]
See the heating element here? Inside it there's a thin wire made of nichrome - that's an alloy of nickel and chromium. But for the power cord - [ which he picks up briefly to be clear what he's indicating ] - the internal wire is made of copper. Now, why do you think that is?
[ This will be on the quiz! Also the quiz is right now I guess! ]
