Question

Resistance and Temperature
28. While taking photographs in Death Valley on a day when the temperature is $$58.0^{o}C$$, Bill Hiker finds that a certain voltage applied to a copper wire produces a current of $$1.00 A$$. Bill then travels to Antarctica and applies the same voltage to the same wire. What current does he register there if the temperature is $$288.0^{o}C$$? Assume that no change occurs in the wires shape and size.

Q5

Resistance of a given wire is obtained by measuring the current flowing in it and the voltage difference applied across it. If the percentage errors in the measurement of the current and the voltage difference are 3% each, then error in the value of resistance of the wire is
