12-2) Failure rate An electronic circuit contains 200 components. After 1000 hours of operation, the probability that a given component has failed is 2x103. Assume that the failures of various components are independent, and that if any one component fails, the circuit will not function. (a) Find the probability that the circuit is functioning after 1000 hours. (b) If two similar circuits are available, find the probability that at least one is functional after 1000 hours.

What is CEMF?
The temperature dependence of resistance is also quantified by the relation R2=R1[ 1+(T2T1) ] where R1 and R2 are the resistances at temperatures T1 and T2, respectively, and is known as the temperature coefficient of resistance. If a copper wire has a resistance of 55 at 20C, find the maximum permissible operating temperature of the wire if its resistance is to increase by at most 20. Take the temperature coefficient at 20C to be =0.00382.
