Question

At 20 ◦C a copper wire has a resistance of 4×10−3 Ω and a temperature coefficient of resistivity of 3.9×10−3 (C◦)−1, its resistance at 100 ◦C is
A.
52.5 × 10-3 Ω
B.
5.25 × 10-3 Ω
C.
5.25 × 10-4 Ω
D.
5.25 × 10-2 Ω


E.
25.5 × 10-3 Ω

Answer 1

Answer:

$R _{t} = R _{0}( \alpha t + 1) \\ = 4 \times {10}^{ - 3} (3.9 \times {10}^{ - 3} \times 20 + 1) \\ = 4 \times {10}^{ - 3} (1.078) \\ = 4.312 \times {10}^{ - 3} \: Ω$
