Current Electricity Charging Discharging Of Capacitors Question 772

Question: If $ E=at+bt^{2}, $ what is the temperature of inversion

[DCE 2003]

Options:

A) $ -\frac{a}{2b} $

B) $ +\frac{a}{2b} $

C) $ -\frac{a}{b} $

D) $ +\frac{a}{b} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

$ E=at+bt^{2} $ at inversion temperature E will be minimum Thus $ \frac{dE}{dt}=0 $

Therefore $ \frac{d}{dt}[at+bt^{2}]=0 $

Therefore $ a+2bt=0 $

Therefore $ t=-\frac{a}{2b} $
