    55.62 °C increase in temperature

    Explanation:

    Copper has a Temperature Coefficient of at near room temperature of + 0.393 percent per degree C increase in temperature.

    Hence to increase the resistance by 14 % =

    14/0.393 = 35.62 °C increase in temperature

    That is if the temperature increases 35.62 °C, the resistance will increase 0.393%*35.62 or 14 %.

    Hence the new temperature will be 35.62 + 20 = 55.62 °C
