A hair dryer draws a current of 12.8 A. (a)How many minutes does it take for
6.8 x 10° C of charge to pass through the
hair dryer? The fundamental charge is
1.602 x 10-19 C.
Answer in units of min.

(b)How many electrons does this amount of
charge represent?
Answer in units of electrons.

The heater element of a 120 v toaster is a 5.4 m length of nichrome wire, whose diameter is 0.48 mm. the resistivity of nichrome at the operating temperature of the toaster is 1.3 × 10-6 ω·m. the toaster is operated at a voltage of 120 v. (a) what is the power drawn by the toaster? (b) if the cost of electricity is 12 ¢ per kilowatt-hour, and it takes 2 minutes to toast bread, how much does it cost for toasted bread? (c) when the heater element is at room temperature, is the resistivity in the nichrome wire greater than, less than, or equal to it’s resistivity when at operating temperature? explain.
