To find the temperature coefficient of resistance (α) of copper, we can use the formula that relates the resistance of a conductor to its temperature. The formula is given by: \[ R = R_0 (1 + \alpha \Delta T) \] Where: - \( R \) is the resistance at temperature \( T \) - \( R_0 \) is the resistance at the initial temperature \( T_0 \) - \( \alpha \) is the temperature coefficient of resistance ...
