We know that resistance of pure metals increases with rise in temperature.Let R0 be the initial resistance at T0 = 25°C and R be the resistance at T =50° C
Let α be the temperature coefficient of resistance and =0.0004 /°C
We know that R = R[1 + α (T - T0) ]
Change in temperature, ΔT = 50°C - 25°C =25 °C
