Question

The resistance of a nichrome wire at $0^{o} C$ is $10 Ω$ . If its temperature coefficient of resistance is $0.004 /^{o} C$ , find its resistance at boiling point of water.

Solution

Given:
$R_{0} = 10 Ω T_{i} = 0^{\circ} C T_{f} = 100^{\circ} C α = 0.004 /^{\circ} C$

$R_{1} = R_{0} (1 + α t)$
$= 10 (1 + 0.004 \times 100)$
$= 14 Ω$
