The answer is B.

Metals are ~indeed~ positive temperature coefficient, but the magnitude of that positive value decreases as temperature increases as given by α = 1/(T+To), or since at 0°, αo = 1/To; then it follows that αc = 1/(T+(1/αo)). In fact, for any material, the temperature coefficient is maximum at 0°.

No. The Temperature Coefficient of a certain temperature is inversely proportional to the sum between the temperature and the inferred absolute zero temperature. Tc=1/(T+To). So, the answer is B.

You are correct, the answer should be A. Because metal is constructor so it is positive temperature coefficient.

Ravi said:   8 years ago
Yes, the answer should be A.
