How can you change the color of the first letter dynamically?

You can dynamically alter how the first letter of any block-level HTML element is displayed by using the pseudo-element ::first-letter. For example, if I wanted to style the first letter of every paragraph to be a different color I could use the following CSS: p::first-letter { color: #FFCC00; }

How would you megger a heating element?

To megger a heating element, first ensure the element is disconnected from any power source to avoid electrical shock. Use a megohmmeter to measure insulation resistance by connecting one lead to the heating element terminal and the other lead to the element's metal casing or ground. Activate the megger to apply a test voltage (commonly 500V) and read the insulation resistance value; a good heating element typically shows a resistance of 1 MΩ or higher. If the reading is significantly lower, it indicates potential insulation failure.
