PhysicsCurrent ElectricityKCETKCET 2016
Options:
  • A \( \frac{R_{0}}{m} \)
  • B \( \mathrm{mR}_{0} \)
  • C \( m^{2} R_{0} \)
  • D \( \frac{m}{R_{0}} \)

The correct answer is: \( \frac{m}{R_{0}} \)
According to equation of straight line, we have
\[
y=m x+c
\]
Temperature coefficient \( (\alpha) \) of the conductor is
\[
\alpha=\frac{\text { slope }}{y-\text { intercept }}=\frac{m}{R_{0}}
\]
