Electric Blankets
1. An electric blanket has a wire that runs through the interior. A
current causes energy to be dissipated in the wire, warming the
blanket. A new, low-voltage electric blanket is rated to be used at
18 V. It dissipates a power of 82 W. What is the resistance of the
wire that runs through the blanket?
2. For the electric blanket of the above example, as the temperature
of the wire increases, what happens to the resistance of the wire?
How does this affect the current in the wire? The dissipated
power?
