To measure the temperature coefficient of resistivity $\alpha$ of a semiconductor,an electrical arrangement shown in the figure is prepared. The arm $BC$ is made up of the semiconductor. The experiment is being conducted at $25^{\circ} C$ and the resistance of the semiconductor arm $BC$ is $3 \ m\Omega$. Arm $BC$ is cooled at a constant rate of $2^{\circ} C / s$. If the galvanometer $G$ shows no deflection after $10 \ s$,then $\alpha$ is:
