Current Electricity Ques 98
98. A $5^{\circ} C$ rise in temperature is observed in a conductor by passing a current. When the current is doubled the rise in temperature will be approximately
(a) $10^{\circ} C$
(b) $16^{\circ} C$
(c) $20^{\circ} C$
(d) $12^{\circ} C$

Answer:
Correct Answer: 98.(c)
Solution:
- (c) Since $H \propto I^{2}$, doubling the current will produce 4 times heat. Hence, the rise in temperature will also be 4 times i.e., rise in temperature $=4 \times 5=20^{\circ} C$.
