Solution;

Given ;

RT=20ΩR_T=20\Omega at T=20°cT=20°c

RT=50ΩR_{T'}=50\Omega at T=500°cT'=500°c

Resistance at a given temperature;

RT=RT[1+α(TT)]R_{T'}=R_{T}[1+\alpha(T'-T)]

Substitute;

50=20[1+α(50020)]50=20[1+\alpha(500-20)]

Therefore;

α=1320\alpha=\frac{1}{320}

Now we obtained for R at 80°c;

RT=20[1+1320(8020)]R_{T''}=20[1+\frac{1}{320}(80-20)]

RT=23.75ΩR_{T''}=23.75\Omega
