The electrical resistance of a pure copper wire is mostly due to the vibrations of the copper atoms. Table 19.1 shows how the resistance of a length of copper wire is found to change as it is heated. Copy the table and add a column showing the temperatures in K. Draw a graph to show these data. (Start the temperature scale of your graph at 0 K.) Explain why you might expect the resistance of copper to be zero at this temperature.
