The resistance of a 25Ω resistor increases by 10 percent when its operating temperature increases from 15◦C to 50◦C. Calculate: (a) the resistance and the temperature coefficient at 0◦C. (b) the mean temperature rise of the resistor from an ambient temperature of 20◦C when its resistance is 30Ω. (use 7 decimal places for the answer in temperature coefficient in letter (a))
