An electric toaster uses nichrome for its heating element. When a negligibly small current passes through it,its resistance at room temperature $(27.0^{\circ} C)$ is found to be $75.3\; \Omega$. When the toaster is connected to a $230\; V$ supply,the current settles,after a few seconds,to a steady value of $2.68\; A$. What is the steady temperature (in $^{\circ} C$) of the nichrome element? The temperature coefficient of resistance of nichrome averaged over the temperature range involved is $1.70 \times 10^{-4}\; ^{\circ} C^{-1}$.
