c. Electrical energy is transferred into thermal energy within 15 minutes d. What is the power of the stove if the length of the wire is half the length in problem a (1/2)
The wires of our appliances are insulated with a material mixed with rubber, which has a very high resistivity. If a certain wire has a length of 2.5 m and the outer diameter is 5mm and its inner diameter is 0.5mm, what is its resistance? Note that the inner diameter is present to leave a hallow place where conducting wire ( usually copper) is present.

- Basic Electrical Engineering You have been sent to a new home. The homeowner reports that sometimes the electric furnace trips the 240-V, 60-A circuit breaker connected to it. Upon examination, you find that the furnace contains three 5000-W heating elements designed to turn on in stages. For example, when the thermostat calls for heat, the first 5000-W unit turns on. After some period of time, the second unit will turn on, and then, after another time delay, the third unit will turn on.
