A coil of copper wire in a resistance of 90 Ω at 20o C and is connected to a 230 V supply. By how much must the voltage be increased in order to maintain the current constant if the temperature of the coil rises to 60C. Take the temperature coefficient of resistance of copper 0 0.00428/ oC A kilometer of wire having a diameter of 11.77 mm and a resistance of 0.031 Ω is drawn down so that its diameter is 5.0 mm. What does its resistance become?
