THe heater element of a particular 120V toaster is a 8.9m length of nichrome wire, whise diamter is 0.86mm. The resistivity of nichrome at the operatring temperature of the toaster is 1.3x10^-6 ohm. If the toaster is opertaed at a volatge of 120V, how much power does it draw?
Ohm's law
Ohm’s law is a prominent concept in physics and electronics. It gives the relation between the current and the voltage. It is used to analyze and construct electrical circuits. Ohm's law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it.
Path of Least Resistance
In a series of alternate pathways, the direction of least resistance is the actual or metaphorical route that offers the least resistance to forwarding motion by a given individual or body.
