What is the unit of temperature coefficient of resistance?

The resistance of a copper wire at 20^@C is 3 Omega and at 100^@ is 3.94 Omega .Determine the temperature coefficient of resistance of copper.

The resistance in the three arms of a Wheatstone bridge are repectively 15Omega , 10Omega and 22.5Omega. when a copper coil is placed in the fourth arm of the bridge at 0^(@)C the bridge ramains balanced . But to restore the balance of the bridge at 50^(@)C of the coil temperature an additinal resistance r has to be arranged in parallel with the coil . What is the value or ?

Of metals and alloys,which has greater value of temperature coefficient of resistance?

The resistance R of a conducting wire depends on its material , length l and area of cross section A. The resistivity of the material of the wire is rho=(RA)l the value of rho is for different materials .It is very low for conducting materials like metals,Besides, the resistance of a conductor also depends on its temperature. IF the resistance of a conductor is R_0 at 0^@C and R_1 at t^@C , then R_1=R_0(1+at) where a is called the temperature coefficient of resistance. The resistance increases with temperature for metallic conductors but decreases for graphite,a few metal alloys,and for semiconductors like silicon and germanium. The resistance of a metal wire increases by 10% when its temperature rises from 10^@C to 110^@C .The temperature coefficient of resistance of the metal is
