A nichrome wire has a resistance R at an initial temperature T, measured in kelvins. If the temperature of the wire increases by 20%, what is the approximate percentage change in its resistance? The temperature coefficient of resistivity for nichrome is 4.0×10−4 K−14.0 \times 10^{-4}\,\text{K}^{-1}.

A

20%

B

0.08%

C

4.0%

D

0.008T %0.008T \ \%, where TT is in kelvins
