To solve the problem, we need to find the power of a heater at a different temperature given its power at a specific temperature and the temperature coefficient of resistance. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between power and resistance The power \( P \) of a heater can be expressed as: \[ P = \frac{V^2}{R} \] where \( V \) is the voltage and \( R \) is the resistance. If the voltage remains constant, the power is inversely proportional to the resistance. ...
