Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 389

Question: The resistance of a coil is 4.2 W at 100o C and the temperature coefficient of resistance of its material is 0.004/o C. Its resistance at 0o C is

[KCET 1999]

Options:

A) 6.5 W

B) 5 W

C) 3 W

D) 4 W

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ R _{t}=R _{0}(1+\alpha ,t) $

Therefore 4.2 = $ R _{0}(1+0.004\times 100)=1.4R _{0} $

Therefore $ R _{0}=3\Omega $ .
