1.

Draw a graph representing the change in specific resistance with temperature.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Let a' be the coefficient of linear expansion and a be the temperature coefficient of resistance of the material of the conductor.
IF the resistivity of the material of the conductor at `0^@C` and `t^@C` and `rho_0` and `rho` respectively then,
`rho=rho_0[1+(a+a')t]`
or,`rho=rho_0(a+a')t+rho_0`
IT is similar to the general EQUATION of straight line i.e.,
`y=mx+c`
`rho-t` plot is SHOWN in the fig.1.101
