Options

  1. A0.033C∘−10 . 033{C ∘}^{- 1}
  2. B−0.033C∘−1- 0 . 033{C ∘}^{- 1}
  3. C0.011C∘−10 . 011{C ∘}^{- 1}
  4. D0.055°C−10 . 055 ° {C}^{- 1}

Correct answer

A. 0.033C∘−10 . 033{C ∘}^{- 1}

Step-by-step solution

Resistance of a material is related to temperature by expression R=R0(1+α\DeltaT)R = {R}_{0}\left(1 + \alpha\DeltaT\right)

Here, at 10°C10 ° C, we have 2=R0(1+10α)...(i)2 = {R}_{0}\left(1 + 10\alpha\right) . . . \left(i\right)

And at 30°C30 ° C, we have 3=R0(1+30α)...(ii)3 = {R}_{0}\left(1 + 30\alpha\right) . . . \left(ii\right)

From equation \left(i\right),,{R}_{0} = \dfrac{2}{\left(1 + 10\alpha\right)}</p><p>Puttingthisvalueinequation(ii)</p><p>Putting this value in equation \left(ii\right),

3=21+10α(1+30α)⇒3+30α=2+60α3 = \dfrac{2}{1 + 10\alpha}\left(1 + 30\alpha\right) ⇒ 3 + 30\alpha = 2 + 60\alpha

⇒1=30α⇒ 1 = 30\alpha

Hence, temperature coefficient of the material of wire is α=130=0.033°C−1\alpha = \dfrac{1}{30} = 0 . 033 ° {C}^{- 1}
