The temperature of a copper wire to increase its resistance by
Answer to Problem 17P
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
Original temperature of copper wire is
Resistance Increased by
Formula used:
The resistivity of metal increases linearly with the temperature. Expression for this:
Where,
Calculation:
Formula for temperature-dependent resistivity,
The problem asks for the temperature at which the resistance of a copper wire is
Substitute the value,
So,
Now, solve for
Now, substitute the given equation and the temperature coefficient
Conclusion: The required temperature is
