0.5 A current flows through an electric heating device connected to 230 V supply . How much is the power of heating device connecting to the circuit if we ignore the resistance of the circuit wire ?

Two wires of equal length, one of copper and the other of aluminium have the same resistance. Which of the two wires is lighter? Hence explain why aluminium wires are prefered for overhead power cables. (P_(Al) = 2.63 xx 10^(-8) Omega m , P_(Cu) = 1.72 xx 10^(-8) Omega m , Relative density of Al = 2.7 , of Cu = 8.9.
