The heating element of an electric toaster is typically made of nichrome wire (an alloy of nickel and chromium). As current passes through the wires, the wires heat up, thus toasting the toast. Estimate the overall resistance of a heating element which is 220 cm long and consists of nichrome wire with a diameter of 0.56 mm. The resistivity of nichrome is 110x10-8 Ω•m.

A digital thermometer employs a thermistor as the temperature-sensing element. A thermistor is a kind of semiconductor and has a large negative temperature coefficient of resistivity α. Suppose α = -0.0503 (Co)-1 for the thermistor in a digital thermometer used to measure the temperature of a patient. The resistance of the thermistor decreases to 87.6% of its value at the normal body temperature of 37.0 oC. What is the patient's temperature?
Check Pure water has very few ions (about 1.20 x 1014 ions per cubic centimeter), giving it a high resistivity, about 1.0 x 10 Q-m at 37.0°C. Blood plasma has a much lower resistivity of roughly 0.600 Q-m at 37.0°C due to the ions dissolved in the plasma. Assuming the resistivity depends only on the concentration of ions, how many ions per cubic centimeter are in blood plasma? 1019 ions/cm3 Ces acer
