An electric toaster uses nichrome for its heating element. When a negligibly small current passes through it, its resistance at room temperature $\left(27.0^{\circ} C \right)$ 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 of the nichrome element? The temperature coefficient of resistance of nichrome averaged over the temperature range involved, is $1.70 \times 10^{-4}{ }^{\circ} C ^{-1}$.

Deuteron is a bound state of a neutron and a proton with a binding energy $B =2.2 MeV$. A $\gamma$-ray of energy E is aimed at a deuteron nucleus to try to break it into a (neutron + proton) such that the n and p move in the direction of the incident $\gamma$-ray. If $E = B$, show that this cannot happen. Hence calculate how much bigger than B must E be for such a process to happen.
