Temperature Dependence of Resistance
A nichrome wire has resistance R at temperature T. If the wire is heated so its temperature increases by 20%, by approximately what percentage does its resistance change? (The temperature coefficient of resistivity for nichrome is $$4.0 \times 10^{-4}\,\text{K}^{-1}$$. Assume T is in kelvins.)
A
20%
B
$$0.008T \ \%$$, where $$T$$ is in kelvins
C
4.0%
D
0.08%
