Two different conductors have the same resistance at $0\,^{\circ}C$. The resistance of the first conductor at $t_1\,^{\circ}C$ is equal to the resistance of the second conductor at $t_2\,^{\circ}C$. What is the ratio of their temperature coefficients of resistance $\alpha_1 / \alpha_2$?

$A$ wire of resistance $R_{1}$ is drawn out so that its length is increased by twice of its original length. The ratio of the new resistance to the original resistance is:

$A$ heating element using nichrome connected to a $230 \;V$ supply draws an initial current of $3.2 \;A$ which settles after a few seconds to a steady value of $2.8 \;A$. What is the steady temperature of the heating element if the room temperature is $27.0^{\circ} C$ (in $^{\circ} C$)? The temperature coefficient of resistance of nichrome averaged over the temperature range involved is $1.70 \times 10^{-4} \;^{\circ} C^{-1}$.

The solids which have the negative temperature coefficient of resistance are:

$A$ $1\,m$ long wire is broken into two unequal parts $X$ and $Y$. The $X$ part of the wire is stretched into another wire $W$. The length of $W$ is twice the length of $X$ and the resistance of $W$ is twice that of $Y$. Find the ratio of the length of $X$ to the length of $Y$.
