A length of platinum wire is connected to a constant voltage source and a current of 0.6 A is precisely measured at a temperature of 48°C. The temperature of the wire increases and later the current is 0.53 A. Determine the temperature of the wire when the current is 0.53 A. For platinum, α = 0.003927 °C1 at 20°C. 48.7 °C
