The temperature coefficient of resistance is expressed in :

Correct answer: B. °C-1

  • A. °C
  • B. °C-1
  • C. m°C-1
  • D. None of these

Explanation

The temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) is a measure of how much the resistance of a material changes with temperature. It is expressed in units of inverse temperature, typically degrees Celsius or Kelvin( °C-1 or K-1). The TCR is defined as the percentage change in resistance per degree Celsius of temperature change.

About Current Electricity

Steady current relates charge flow to potential difference, resistance and resistivity, including how temperature changes a conductor's resistance. Sources with internal resistance have terminal voltage below their emf when delivering current, and maximum power output occurs under a specific load condition rather than at zero resistance.
