The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the resistance \( R \) at temperature \( T \) given the temperature coefficient of resistance \( \alpha(T) = 3T^2 + 2T \) and the resistance \( R_0 \) at \( T = 0 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the relationship between resistance and temperature coefficient**: The temperature coefficient of resistance \( \alpha \) is defined as: \[ \alpha = \frac{dR}{R_0 \, dT} \] Rearranging gives: \[ dR = \alpha R_0 \, dT \] 2. **Substituting the given expression for \( \alpha \)**: Substitute \( \alpha(T) = 3T^2 + 2T \) into the equation: \[ dR = (3T^2 + 2T) R_0 \, dT \] 3. **Integrating both sides**: We need to integrate \( dR \) from \( R_0 \) to \( R \) and \( dT \) from \( 0 \) to \( T \): \[ \int_{R_0}^{R} dR = \int_{0}^{T} (3T^2 + 2T) R_0 \, dT \] 4. **Calculating the integral**: The left side becomes: \[ R - R_0 \] For the right side, we can factor out \( R_0 \): \[ R_0 \int_{0}^{T} (3T^2 + 2T) \, dT \] Now, calculate the integral: \[ \int (3T^2 + 2T) \, dT = \left[ T^3 + T^2 \right]_{0}^{T} = T^3 + T^2 \] Therefore, the right side becomes: \[ R_0 (T^3 + T^2) \] 5. **Equating both sides**: Now we have: \[ R - R_0 = R_0 (T^3 + T^2) \] Rearranging gives: \[ R = R_0 + R_0 (T^3 + T^2) \] 6. **Factoring out \( R_0 \)**: \[ R = R_0 (1 + T^3 + T^2) \] ### Final Result: Thus, the expression for resistance \( R \) at temperature \( T \) is: \[ R = R_0 (1 + T^2 + T^3) \]

To solve the problem, we need to find the resistance \( R \) at temperature \( T \) given the temperature coefficient of resistance \( \alpha(T) = 3T^2 + 2T \) and the resistance \( R_0 \) at \( T = 0 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the relationship between resistance and temperature coefficient**: The temperature coefficient of resistance \( \alpha \) is defined as: \[ \alpha = \frac{dR}{R_0 \, dT} ...
