no,

The devices all plug into a source of electricity. Electric current runs from your wall socket down the wire and into the appliance.

Inside each of the appliances are loops of special mixture of metals. One type is called nichrome. Nichrome is a nickel / chromium alloy.

Electricity cannot pass through this special metal very easily. The metal slows down the electrons and "holds up" the current flowing through it. This is called the "resistance" of the metal. When the resistance of a metal is higher, the metal will get hot because of the friction of the electrons in the current of electricity.

As the electricity is forced through the wires, the wires begin to heat up and glow very hot. If you look inside your toaster, you'll see those coils or wire glowing orange. It's those coils or loops of wire that cause the bread to brown making your toast.

In older toasters, the hot wires heat up a small device called a thermocouple. When it reaches the right temperature, which is about the same time as your toast is properly toasted, it releases a catch allowing the toast to pop up. At the same time, it shuts off the electricity. In some newer toasters, the thermocouple is replaced by a small timer.

Yes the, when you turn on the oven two magnets rub very fast to make heat. This does it so fast that it makes fire.

Is a toaster a magnet?

Commonly a toaster will have a small magnet as part of the time/colour mechanism. A bimetallic strip gradually heats up, and breaks the electrical current. If we use a simple bimetallic mechanism, then the breaking process will be gradual. If we add a small magnet to the system, then it will withstand the opening force of the bimetallic for a little, and then will snap open quickly. If the breaking process were gradual, then there would be some arcing of the contacts - undesirable.


Does the strength of a magnet become affected when subjected to different degrees of hot and cold temperatures?

A. A magnet has a Curie Point, a temperature beyond which it is no longer a magnet. Identified by Marie Curie. This property is used in items such as toaster timers. As far as I know there is no low temperature limit.


What holds a toaster down?

A typical pop up toaster will have a spring loaded tray that you put your bread into, when you pull the leaver down it lowers the toast down so that it's closer to the heating elements. When the release mechanism inside the toaster is heated up enough it releases (which makes the popping sound you hear) and the spring loaded tray pops up with your toast.

Can my toaster oven cook a bagel better than a traditional toaster?
