The temperature coefficient of resistanc...

The temperature coefficient of resistance of a material is `0.004 ""^@C^(-1)`. Let `R_0` be the resistance of a wire made from this material at `0^@C` . What should be the temperature of this object so that its resistance increases by `2R_0` ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we will use the formula for the resistance of a material as a function of temperature, which is given by: \[ R = R_0 (1 + \alpha \Delta T) \] Where: - \( R \) is the final resistance, - \( R_0 \) is the initial resistance at \( 0^\circ C \), - \( \alpha \) is the temperature coefficient of resistance, ...
