QUESTION #4381
Question 1
The unit of temperature coefficient of resistivity is:
Correct Answer Explanation
Temperature coefficient of resistivity $\alpha$ is defined by $\rho = \rho_0(1 + \alpha \Delta T)$. For dimensional consistency, $\alpha = \dfrac{\Delta\rho}{\rho_0 \cdot \Delta T}$, so its unit is $K^{-1}$ or $\dfrac{1}{K}$.
