A resistive heater made of nichrome wire has a resistivity of 1.10 × 10⁻⁶ Ω·m. If the wire is 5 m long and has a cross-sectional area of 2 × 10⁻⁶ m², calculate the resistance of the wire.
💡 Hint: Understand the relationship between resistivity, length, and cross-sectional area.
If a 12 V battery connected to a resistor of 4 Ω is used, what is the current through the resistor? Then find out the total energy dissipated in the resistor in 10 seconds.
💡 Hint: Determine first the current, and then use the power formula.
