Nichrome Heating Element Simulation
This interactive simulation demonstrates the temperature-dependent resistance characteristics of nichrome wire in a heating element circuit. The visualization shows how increasing temperature affects current flow and power dissipation.
Initial conditions: At room temperature (27°C), current = 3.2A (Resistance: 71.87Ω)
Steady-state: Current settles to 2.8A (Resistance: 82.14Ω) as temperature increases
