Answer

$\frac{d\rho}{dT} = 8 \times 10^{-11} \Omega . m /K$

Work Step by Step

For copper, $\frac{d\rho}{dT} = [\rho\alpha]_{Cu} $ Where $\rho = 2 \times 10^{-8} \Omega . m$ $\alpha = 4 \times 10^{-3} K^{-1} $ Substitute into equation $\frac{d\rho}{dT} = (2 \times 10^{-8} \Omega . m)(4 \times 10^{-3} K^{-1} )$ $\frac{d\rho}{dT} = 8 \times 10^{-11} \Omega . m /K$
