As current passes through steel, it heats up from resistive heating. As it heats up, it expands. A typical coefficient of thermal expansion for steel is 13x10-6 m/m K but the exact coefficient of thermal expansion of steel depends on the type of steel. For example:

Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion for:

(10-6 m/m K)(10-6 in/in oF)Steel13.07.3Steel Stainless Austenitic (304)17.39.6Steel Stainless Austenitic (310)14.48.0Steel Stainless Austenitic (316)16.08.9Steel Stainless Ferritic (410)9.95.5

How do you expand a negative power For example 2 to the 2nd power is 2x2 how do you expand 2 to the power of -1?

for expanding negative powers of a number you take 1 divided by the number to the positive power and expand. For example 2 to the -1 power is 1 divided by 2 to the + 1 power = 1/2 2 to the -3 power is 1 divided by 2 tot he + 3 power = 1/8 this is called inverse
