Explanation Given info: The temperature coefficient of resistivity α of silver is 3.8 × 10 − 3 ( ° C ) − 1 . The reference temperature T 0 is 20.0 ° C . Write the expression of the resistivity due to change in the temperature. ρ = ρ 0 [ 1 + α ( T − T 0 ) ] (1) Here, ρ 0 is the resistivity of material at 20.0 ° C . T is the temperature of 0 ° C . ρ is the resistivity of silver. Write the expression of the resistivity due to change in the temperature. ρ = ρ 0 ′ [ 1 + α ′ ( T ) ] (2) Here, ρ 0 ′ is the resistivity of material at 0 ° C . α ′ is the temperature coefficient of silver. The formula of resistivity ρ 0 ′ is, ρ 0 ′ = ρ 0 ( 1 − T 0 α ) Substitute ρ 0 ( 1 − T 0 α ) for ρ 0 ′ in equation (2). ρ = ρ 0 ( 1 − T 0 α ) [ 1 + α ′ ( T ) ] Substitute ρ 0 [ 1 + α ( T − T 0 ) ] for ρ in above equation. ρ 0 [ 1 + α ( T − T 0 ) ] = ρ 0 ( 1 − T 0 α ) [ 1 + α ′ ( T ) ] [ 1 + α ( T − T 0 ) ] = ( 1 − T 0 α ) [ 1 + α ′ ( T ) ] 1 + α ( T − T 0 ) ( 1 − T 0 α ) = [ 1 + α ′ ( T ) ] 1 + α ( T − T 0 ) ( 1 − T 0 α ) − 1 = α ′ ( T ) Simplify the above equation

Microscopic view of current

In physics, the term current is expressed as the rate of flow of electric charges across the area per unit time (I=q/t). It propagates along in the direction of the motion of positive charges. When the current is caused by the motion of electrons, the di…
