🤔 How it works ……..

How an Electric heater works.

An electric heater🔌🏮 is an electrical device that converts an electric current into heat. The heating element inside every electric heater is an electrical resistor, and works on the principle of Joule heating: an electric current passing through a resistor will convert that electrical energy into heat energy. Most modern electric heating devices use nichrome wire as the active element; the heating element, depicted on the right, uses nichrome wire supported by ceramic insulators.

😳Why❓❓❓

*Why crushed stones kept alongside rail tracks?** 🚆🚂

The crushed stones are what is known as ballast. Their purpose is to hold the wooden cross ties in place, which in turn hold the rails in place. Due to weather conditions & sun heat, tracks will get expansion & contraction, ground movement and vibration, precipitation buildup from rough weather, and weed and plant growth from underneath, so alignment of tracks get changed and rails couldn’t move forward.

Due to Laying of concrete and its sharp edges of the stone make it difficult for wooden logs layed under track to avoid slide over each other; thus effectively locking them in place.

The ballast distributes the load of the ties (which, in turn, bear the load of the train on the track, held by clips) across the foundation, allows for ground movement, thermal expansion and weight variance, allows rain and snow to drain through the track, and inhibit the growth of weeds and vegetation that would quickly take over the track.
