Nichrome Heating Element Simulation
Example 3.3: Electric Toaster Heating Element
This simulation demonstrates how the temperature of a nichrome heating element changes when current passes through it.
Voltage (V):
0 V
Current (I):
0 A
Resistance (R):
75.3 Ω
Temperature:
27.0 °C
Key Formulas
R₂ = V / I (Ohm's Law)
R₂ = R₁ [1 + α(T₂ - T₁)]
α = 1.70 × 10⁻⁴ °C⁻¹ (Temperature coefficient)
