Question:

An office worker uses an immersion heater to warm 250 g of water in a light, covered, insulated cup from 20°C to 100°C in 4.00 minutes. The heater is a Nichrome resistance wire connected to a 120-V power supply. Assume that the wire is at 100°C throughout the 4.00-min time interval. Specify a diameter and a length that the wire can have. Can it be made from less than 0.5 cm3 of Nichrome?
