What is the temperature coefficient of resistance of Eureka?

For thin Eureka wire:Resistivity of the wire = ρ = R ×A/L= 9.28× 10^-5 Ω -mConductivity of the wire 'σ' = 1/ ρ = 1.07× 10^4 (Ohm-m)-1For thick Eureka wire:Resistivity of the wire = ρ = R ×A/L= 1.7 × 10^-4 Ω-mConductivity of the wire 'σ' = 1/ ρ = 5.7 × 10^3 (Ω-m)-1


Why you use eureka wire instead of copper wire?

Eureka wire, which is a nickel copper alloy, has a higher resistance than copper wire and is used as a heating element for specialized purposes. These hot cutting wires have high strength at elevated temperatures and are used for cutting foam polystyrene (EPS) and or heat sealing woven polypropylene bags. ------- This alloy also has another important feature. Its resistance to electricity remains the same over a wide range of temperatures. For more information please see the wikipedia article about constantan.
