A Correct answer
Explanation

Nichrome is a non-magnetic alloy of nickel, chromium, and often iron, usually used as a resistance wire . Due to its relatively high electrical resistivity and resistance to oxidation at high temperatures, it is widely used in electric heating elements, such as in hair dryers, electric ovens, soldering iron, toasters, and even electronic cigarettes.
