Find an expression for the temperature T2, at which the resistance of a particular wire will be twice as high as it is at the reference temperature T0. (Both temperatures are in degrees Celsius) Use this expression to find the temperature in degrees Celsius for T2. If the wire has a length of 1.00m and it has a circular cross section with a radius of 1.00cm, what is the resistance in ohms, at a temperature which is twice the reference temperature, T = 2T0 ?
Resistivity in metals increases with temperature according to the equation: ρ(T) = ρ0[1 + α(T - T0)]
where α is the temperature coeficcient of restivity, and ρ0 is the restivity at the reference temperature T0. For a particular wire, the temperature coeficcient of restivity is α = 3.83 X 10-3 °C-1, and the restivity is ρ0 = 7.71 X 10-7 Ωm at the reference temperature T0 = 297°C.
