The resistance of an electrical toaster has a temperature dependence given by $R(T) = R_{0}[1 + \alpha(T - T_{0})]$ in its range of operation. At $T_{0} = 300$ K, $R = 100 \Omega$ and at $T = 500$ K, $R = 120 \Omega$. The toaster is connected to a voltage source at $200$ V and its temperature is raised at a constant rate from $300$ to $500$ K in $30$ s. The total work done in raising the temperature is:
