What is the power dissipated in the heating element


A toaster using a NichromeTM heating element operates on 120. When it is switched on at 21.0, the heating element carries an initial current of 1.34 . A few seconds later, the current reaches the steady value of 1.24 .

A) What is the final temperature of the element? The average value of the temperature coefficient of resistivity for NichromeTM over the temperature range from 20.0 to the final temperature of the element is 4.50×10-4 .

B) What is the power dissipated in the heating element when the current reaches a steady value?

C) What is the power dissipated in the heating element initially?
