Current that makes the heater element very hot but the connecting cables leading to heater are slightly warm? Please experts give specific reasons....

Dear Student ,
Due to high resistance of the heater coil the heat generated in the coil is more .But as the resistance of the cable used for connection is very low .So they do not get very warm when electric current is passed through them .

Hope this helps you .
Regards

This is bcoz the connecting cables are insulated wih plastic so that it doesn't get very hot bcoz plastic is a good insulator of heat
