Answer

a). $4.6m-ohm$ b). $8.5mA$

Work Step by Step

a). $\Delta R=Ro\times alpha\times \Delta T$ $alpha=6.8\times10^{-3}/^{\circ}C$ Thus, $\Delta R=25\times10^{-3}\times 6.8\times10^{-3}\times 27=4.6m-ohm$ b). $Io=10mA$ Now, $Vo=Io\times Ro=10\times10^{-3}\times 25\times 10^{-3}=2.5\times10^{-4}V$ After heating the resistor, $R=Ro+\Delta R= 25m-ohm+4.6m-ohm=29.6m-ohm$ $I=Vo/R=\frac{2.5\times10^{-4}}{29.6}=8.5\times10^{-3} A= 8.5mA$
