To find the temperature coefficient of resistance (α) for the coil of wire, we can use the formula for resistance as a function of temperature: \[ R = R_0 (1 + \alpha \Delta T) \] Where: - \( R \) is the resistance at temperature \( T \), - \( R_0 \) is the resistance at a reference temperature (usually 0°C), - \( \alpha \) is the temperature coefficient of resistance, ...
