a. Verify the value of a2o for copper in Table by substi tuting the inferred absolute temperature into Eq. (1).


b. Using Eq. (2), find the temperature at which the resistance of a copper conductor will increase to 1 fl from a level of 0.8 fl at 20°C.

Eq (1)

Eq (2)

R1 = R20 [1 + α20 (T1 – 20°C)]
