The variation of resistivity of a metallic conductor with temperature is given correctly by which of the following relations?
(Where \( \rho_T \) is the resistivity at a temperature T and \( \rho_0 \) is the resistivity at a reference temperature \( T_0 \), \( \alpha \) is the temperature coefficient of resistivity, \( T > T_0 \))

  1. A \( \rho_T = \rho_0 [1 + \alpha(T - T_0)] \)
  2. B \( \rho_0 = \rho_T [1 + \alpha(T_0 - T)] \)
  3. C \( \rho_T = \rho_0 [1 + \alpha(1 - T_0)] \)
  4. D \( \rho_T = [\rho_0 + \alpha(T - T_0)] \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \( \rho_T = \rho_0 [1 + \alpha(T - T_0)] \)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( \rho_T = \rho_0 [1 + \alpha(T - T_0)] \) \(\rho_{ T }\) Resistivity at temperature \(T\). \(\rho_0\) : Resistivity at a reference temperature \(T_0\) (usually \(0^{\circ} C\) or \(20^{\circ} C\) ). \(\alpha\) : The temperature coefficient of resistivity, which represents the…
