The temperature coefficient of resistance of a wire is 0.00125^ C ⁻¹ . At 300 K , its resistance is 1 . At what temperature the resistance of the wire will be 2 ?
Options
- A800 K
- B1100 K
- C600 K
- DNone of the above
Correct answer
B. 1100 K
Step-by-step solution
aligned R_t= & R₀(1+ T) 2 & =1(1+0.00125 T) T & = 1 0.00125 ( neglecting - ve sign) T & =800+300=1100 ~K aligned
