The resistances of the platinum wire of a platinum resistance thermometer at the ice point and steam point are 8 and 10 respectively. After inserting in a hot bath of temperature 400^ C , the resistance of platinum wire is :
Options
- A10
- B8
- C16
- D2
Correct answer
C. 16
Step-by-step solution
Given R₀=8 , R₁₀₀=10 R ₁₀₀= R ₀(1+ T ) Also, R₄₀₀=R₀ (1+ T ^1 ) aligned & 10=8(1+ 100) 100 = 1 4 & R ₄₀₀=8(1+400 )=8(1+1)=16 aligned
