In an electric stove, resistors are not typically used as separate components. Instead, the heating elements themselves act as resistors. The heating elements in an electric stove are typically made of a material with high electrical resistance, such as nichrome wire.
When electric current flows through the heating element, it encounters resistance, which converts electrical energy into heat. This heat is then transferred to the cooking surface or the oven cavity, allowing for cooking or baking.
The heating elements in an electric stove are usually located beneath the stovetop surface for the burners or inside the oven compartment for the baking element. They are designed to withstand high temperatures and provide a consistent and controllable heat source for cooking.
