The nichrome heating element in an electric drier operates on 240 V and generates heat at the rate of 2.0 kW. The heating element shorts out and, in repairing it, the repairman shortens the nichrome wire by 10%

(Assume the temperature is unchanged. In reality, the resistivity of the wire will depend on its temperature.) What effect will the repair have on the power dissipated in the heating element? A) The power is still 2.0 kW. B) The power increases to 2.2 kW. C) The power decreases to 1.8 kW. D) None of the given answers is correct.
