Calculate the resistivity of nichrome in this situation

Reference no: EM13316627

The heating element of a simple heater consists of a 2.2-m-long, 0.65-mm-diameter nichrome wire. When plugged into a 120V outlet, the heater draws 9.0A of current when hot. What is the wire's resistance when it is hot? Use your answer to part A to calculate the resistivity of nichrome in this situation.
