An appliance contains a copper wire. When the appliance is not in use, the wire has a resistance of about
Ro = 5900_N. But when the appliance is in operation, the wire has an increased resistance R due to
heating. If the temperature increases about 15°C, then find the operating-resistance of the wire. (The
temperature coefficient of copper is a = 0.0039/°C.)

Expert Solution
Step 1

5.C

We have been provided with an appliance contains a copper wire.When the appliance is not in use, the wire has a resistance of about Ro=5900 ohm.  

When the appliance is in operation , the wire has an increased resistance R due to heating. If the temperature increases about 150C.

We have to find the operating resistance of the wire=?

Temperature coefficient of copper is 0.0039/0C
