    3. a) A tungsten wire of length 20.0 m, initially at temperature 20.0°C, has a diameter of 2.00 mm. The potential difference across the whole wire is 180 V. Determine the current intensity in the wire b) Due to ohmic losses, the wire is heated up to 60.0°C, but the potential difference through the wire remains the same. Find the resulting current intensity. Note: po = 5,6x10 82 m, a=4.5x10(°C)
