I am in an engineering class at school where we must create or innovate a product. My group decided to do a heated mat for melting snow. We have found that nichrome is used in most electric heating elements, but we were hoping for some expert help finding the resistance, current, voltage, and power of a 22.5' length of 22 gauge nichrome coil that has a diameter of 0.25".
