What is the final temperature of the heating element

Reference no: EM13558908

A certain toaster has a heating element made of Nichrome resistancewire. When the toaster is first connected to a 110 V source of potential difference (and the wire isat a temperature of 20.0°C), the initial current is1.7 A. However, the current begins todecrease as the resistive element warms up. When the toasterreaches its final operating temperature, the current has dropped to1.53 A.

a) Find the power the toaster converts when itis at its operating temperature.

b) What is the final temperature of the heating element?
