Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 690

Question: If the resistance of a conductor is $ 5\Omega $ at $ 50{}^\circ C $ & $ 7\Omega $ at $ 100{}^\circ C, $ then mean temperature coefficient

Options:

A) $ 0.013/{}^\circ C~ $

B) $ 0.004/{}^\circ C $

C) $ 0.006/{}^\circ C $

D) $ 0.008/{}^\circ C $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

[a] $ [\text{Hint}\Rightarrow R _{t}=R _{0}(1+\alpha t)] $

$ 5\Omega =R _{0}( 1+\alpha \times 50 )\text{ and 7}\Omega =R _{0}( 1+\alpha \times 100 ) $

$ \text{or }\frac{5}{7}=\frac{1+50\alpha }{1+100\alpha }\text{ or }\alpha =\frac{2}{150}=0.0133/{}^\circ C $
