$A$ heating element using nichrome connected to a $230 \;V$ supply draws an initial current of $3.2 \;A$ which settles after a few seconds to a steady value of $2.8 \;A$. What is the steady temperature of the heating element if the room temperature is $27.0^{\circ} C$ (in $^{\circ} C$)? The temperature coefficient of resistance of nichrome averaged over the temperature range involved is $1.70 \times 10^{-4} \;^{\circ} C^{-1}$.

The coefficient of linear expansion of the material of a resistor is $\alpha$. Its temperature coefficient of resistivity and resistance are $\alpha_\rho$ and $\alpha_R$ respectively. Then the correct relation is:
