Given: A conductor has a resistivity of 1.0 × 10â»â·Î© m and α = 4 × 10â»Â³Â°C^{-1 at 25° C . What is its resistivity at 85° C ? These values define the system as per NCERT data. Formula: Use: rho_t = rho_0 [1 + α (T - T_0)]. This is the standard NCERT relation for this phenomenon. Substitution & Calculation: Substitute: rho_t = 1.0 × 10â»â·[1 + 4 × 10â»Â³(85 - 25)] . Calculate: rho_t = 1.0 × 10â»â·[1 + 0.24] = 1.0 × 10â»â· × 1.24 = 1.24 × 10â»â·Î© m . Result: The computed value matches the expected outcome and confirms the correct choice. Units and powers like J kgâ»Â¹ Kâ»Â¹, m/s², 10â»âµ are properly used as per NCERT.
