of 20.0°C and satisfies the equation p = Po[1 + a(T - T)], where po is the resistivity of = 20.0°C. Suppose the coefficients were given the symbol B and were based on a T, of 0°C, so that they satisfied the equation p = Po*[1+ B(T - 0°C)], The temperature coefficient of resistivity a is based on a reference temperature the material at To where is the resistivity of the material at 0°C. Obtain the value for the coefficient a from this table and then determine the value of the coefficient B for silver. Po (°C)-1 Need Help? Read It
