An electric toaster has resistance of 60 Ω at room temperature 27 ° C . The toaster is connected to a 220 V supply. If the current flowing through it reaches 2 . 75 A , the temperature attained by toaster is around: (if α = 2 × 10 - 4 C - 1 ∘ )
Options
- A694 ° C
- B1235 ° C
- C1694 ° C
- D1667 ° C
Correct answer
C. 1694 ° C
Step-by-step solution
Resistance at 27 ° C , R T = 27 = 60 Ω . Final resistance, R T = 220 2 . 75 = 80 Ω . Now, we can write R = R 0 ( 1 + α Δ T ) ⇒ 80 = 60 1 + 2 × 10 - 4 ( T - 27 ) ⇒ T ≈ 1694 ° C
