“Yes, but the conductivity and the melting point both come into play. The higher the resistivity, the more easily electricity is going to get converted into heat. So, tungsten can resist melting more easily, but it will also get hotter from the same amount of power. Those factors might end up negating each other for practical purposes here, but I wouldn’t know for sure unless someone tried it.”
I would comment on the above but I don’t have the time or the energy.
Then why comment at all, if you aren’t contributing anything to the discussion?
” The higher the resistivity, the more easily electricity is going to get converted into heat. “
Increase R, I decreases.
Decrease I and P goes down exponentially.
Increasing R therefore decreases the amount of heat.
