Lightning the thunder take place in the sky at the same time and at the same distance from us. Lightning is seen earlier and thunder is heard later. Can you explain why ?

A heating element using nichrome connected to a 230V supply draws an initial current of 3.2A which settles after a few seconds to a steady value of 2.8A. What is the steady temperature of the heating -element, if the room temperature is 27.0^(@) C? Temperature cofficient of resistance of nichrome averaged over the temperature range involved is 1.70xx 10^(-4@)C^(-1).

An electric toaster uses nichrome for its heating element. When a negllgibly small current pases through it, its resistance at room temperature (27.0^(@)C) is found to be 75.3 Omega. When the toaster is connected to a 230 V supply, the current settles, after a few seconds, to a steady value of 2.68A. What is the steady temperature of the nichrome element ? The temperature coefficient of resistance of nichrome averaged over the temperature range involved is 1.70 xx 10 ^(-4)"" ^(@)C ^(-1).
