Homework Statement
A toaster with a Nichrome heating element has a resistance of 150 omega at 20degrees Celsius and an initial current of 2 A. When the heating element reaches its final temperature, the current is 1.73 A. What is the final temperature of the heating element?
Homework Equations
Not sure if they will help but...
(for the equations below i will use p as rho)
R = (p) (L/A)
temperature coefficient of resistivity, alpha = ((p - p0)/p0)/ (T - T0)
The Attempt at a Solution
The only equation relating to the temperature of resistors was the temperature coefficient but I'm not sure how to use it. Thanks for the help!
