Question: A 2 3 0 - W heating coil designed to operate from 1 1 0 V is made of Nichrome wire 0 . 6 4

A 230-W heating coil designed to operate from 110 V is made of Nichrome wire 0.640 mm in diameter. (Assume =1.5010-6 m, and =4.00010-4(C)1 for Nichrome.)
(a) Assuming the resistivity of the Nichrome remains constant at its 20.0C value, find the length of wire used.
m
(b) Now consider the variation of resistivity with temperature. What power is delivered to the coil of part (a) when it is warmed to 1200C?
W
