LA given material has a resistance of 20 Q at room temperature (20°C) and 25 2 at a temperature of 85°C. a) Does the material have a positive or a negative temperature coefficient? Explain briefly. b) Determine the value of the temperature coefficient, a, at 20°C. c) Assuming the resistance versus temperature function to be linear, determine the expected resistance of the material at 0°C (the freezing point of water) and at 100°C (the boiling point of water).
