Calculate the temperature change in the wire

Reference no: EM13514071

A Nichrome wire is used as a heating element in a toaster. From the moment the toaster is first turned on to the moment the wire reaches it maximum temperature, the current in the wire drops by 20% from its initial value. What is the temperature change in the wire? The temperature coefficient for Nichrome is á = 0.0004 (°C)-1.
