The resistance R of a conductor varies with temperature as shown in Fig. 4.57. If it is written as : R1=R01+αt+βt2
α and β are both negative
α is positive but β is negative
α and β are both positive
α is negative but β is positive
In graph R ↑ so dRdt>0 so R0α+2βt>0
Also, dRdt↑so d2Rdt2>0 so R02β>0⇒β>0
For all 't' α+2βt>0 so α>0
