9. Define temperature coefficient of resistance in your own words. Semiconductors have negavtive
temperature coefficient of resistance. Explain why?
10. The resistance of the wire is 1 ohm at 300K. calculate its temperature coefficient at 273K.
11. The resistance of a bulb filament is 112Ω at a temperature of 110°C. and its resistance is 180Ω at
375 °C. Calculate its temperate coefficient.
12. The resistance of a bulb filament is 100Ω at a temperature of 100°C. If its TCR is 0.005 per °C, its
resistance will become 200Ω at a temperature of?
13. The temperature coefficient of resistance of wire is 12.5×10−4/C0. At 300K the resistance of the wire is 1
ohm. What is the value of the temperature at which resistance will be 2 ohm ?
