The resistance of a platinum wire is to be calibrated for low-temperature work. A platinum wire with resistance 1.5 ? at 30°C is immersed in liquid nitrogen at 93 K (?180°C). If the temperature response of the platinum wire is linear, what is the expected resistance of the platinum wire at ?180°C? [?platinum = 3.92 × 10^?3 (°C)?1]

a. 0.265 ?
b. 2.38 ?
c. 2.73 ?
d. 8.48 ?
e. 0.618 ?
