Find the power dissipated in each of these extension cords: (a) an extension cord having a $0.0600-\Omega$ resistance and through which 5.00 A is flowing; (b) a cheaper cord utilizing thinner wire and with a resistance of 0.300$\Omega .$

A coil of Nichrome wire is 25.0 $\mathrm{m}$ long. The wire has a diameter of 0.400 $\mathrm{mm}$ and is at $20.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ . If it carries a current of 0.500 $\mathrm{A}$ , what are (a) the magnitude of the electric field in the wire and (b) the power delivered to it? (c) What If? If the temperature is increased to $340^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and the potential difference across the wire remains constant, what is the power delivered?
