Solution

To calculate the change in resistance of a wire when it is stretched by 0.1%, we can follow these steps:

  1. Determine the initial length of the wire. Let's call it L0.
  2. Calculate 0.1% of the initial length by multiplying L0 by 0.001. This will give us the amount of elongation, which we'll call ΔL.
  3. Find the initial resistance of the wire. Let's call it R0.
  4. Use the formula for the change in resistance of a wire due to its change in length: ΔR = R0 * α * ΔL, where α is the temperature coefficient of resistance.
  5. If the temperature coefficient of resistance is not given, assume it to be a constant value of
