Correct answer: D
- Find the resistance of the toaster at the final temperature
Given:
- Initial resistance at :
- Supply voltage:
- Current at heated condition:
Using Ohm’s law,
So, at the attained temperature, the resistance becomes
- Use the linear temperature dependence of resistance
For small/moderate temperature ranges, resistance varies as
Here,
Substitute:
Divide by :
So,
Hence,
Therefore,
So the temperature attained is approximately
- Check options
- A: — incorrect
- B: — this is only the temperature rise, not the final temperature
- C: — incorrect
- D: — correct
Thus, the correct option is D.
