Nichrome is used as a heating element in electrical devices due to its high resistivity and melting point. Ohmic conductors obey Ohm's law, such as metals, while non-ohmic conductors do not obey it, like diodes and transistors. A conductor's resistance increases with temperature but decreases with increasing cross-sectional area or decreasing length. Constantan and manganin are used for standard resistances because their resistance does not change with temperature.
