The resistance of wire at 0^ C is 20 . If the temperature coefficient of the resistance is 5 10⁻³ ^ C ⁻¹ . The temperature at which the resistance will be double of that at 0^ C is
Options
- A10^ C
- B200^ C
- C250^ C
- D300^ C
Correct answer
B. 200^ C
Step-by-step solution
Resistance of wire at 0^ C , R₀=20 Temperature coefficient, aligned & =5 10⁻³ ^ C ⁻¹ & R_t=2 R₀=2 20=40 aligned we know that, R_t=R₀(1+ t) 40=20 (1+5 10⁻³ t ) 2=1+5 10⁻³ t t= 1 5 10⁻³ = 1000 5 =200^ C
