Passage :
The thermal coefficient of resistivity is given by `alpha=(1)/(rho)(d rho)/(dT)` where `rho` is resistivity at a temperature T. `alpha` is not constant, rather varies as `alpha=(-n)/(T)`, where T is temperature in Kelvin and n is a constant. For carbon `alpha=-0.0005K^(-1)and rho=3.5xx10^(-5)(Omega-m)"at"27^(@)C`
