Gradient of a Scalar Field

Consider a room or a place where the temperature is denoted by a scalar field T, such that at each point (x, y, z), the temperature is given as T(x, y, z). It is independent of time, in which the temperature rises most quickly. The gradient of T will show the direction at that point by moving away from (x, y, z). How far will the rise in temperature in that direction be determined by the gradient magnitude? Consider a surface that has a height above sea level at point (x, y) which is given by H(x, y). At that point, pointing in the direction of the steepest slope or grade is the gradient of H. The magnitude of the gradient of the vector gives the steepness of the slope at that point. How a scalar field changes in another direction can be measured by the gradient by taking a dot product rather than just the direction of the greatest change?

The temperature dependence of resistance is also quantified by the relation R2=R1[ 1+(T2T1) ] where R1 and R2 are the resistances at temperatures T1 and T2, respectively, and is known as the temperature coefficient of resistance. If a copper wire has a resistance of 55 at 20C, find the maximum permissible operating temperature of the wire if its resistance is to increase by at most 20. Take the temperature coefficient at 20C to be =0.00382.
