This confirms the order: Silver < Nichrome < Glass. Nichrome's relatively high resistivity makes it suitable for heating elements in appliances like toasters and heaters.\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the correct sequence of resistivity of silver, nichrome and glass at room temperature ?
