A Nichrome heater dissipates 507 W when the applied potential difference is 110 V and the wire temperature is 800oC. What would be the dissipation rate if the wire temperature were held at 232oC by immersing the wire in a bath of cooling oil? The applied potential difference remains the same, and α for Nichrome at 800oC is 4.0 × 10-4 K-1.

A heating element is made by maintaining a potential difference of 89.0 V across the length of a Nichrome wire that has a 4.96 x 10-6 m2 cross section. Nichrome has a resistivity of 5.00 x 10-7 2:m. (a) If the element dissipates 2880 W, what is its length? (b) If 102 V is used to obtain the same dissipation rate, what should the length be? (a) Number Units (b) Number Units

Problem 5: A nichrome rod of length LN 58 cm is connected in series (end to end) to a carbon rod of length Lc 8 cm. Both rods have cross-sectional areas of A 55 mm2. At T0 20° C the restístivity of nichrome is ρΝ-1.50 x 10-6 Ω-m and the resistivity of carbon is pc 3.50 x 10-5 Q-m. The temperature coefficient of nichrome is positive with value a-0.4 x 10-3 °C-1. The temperature coefficient of carbon is negative with a value ac--0.5 x 10-3 °c1. The nonlinear dependence of the resistivity on temperature T can be written as ρ ea(T-To) .odu @ theexpertta.com - tracking id: 2N74-2F-82-4A-BAAB-13167.
