The resistance of platinum wire at is and at . The temperature coefficient of resistance of the wire is :
- A
- B
- C
- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
$$\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{T}}=\mathrm{R}_{0}\left[1+\alpha\left(\mathrm{T}-\mathrm{T}_{0}\right)\right]$$
$$6.8=2[1+\alpha(80-\alpha)]$$
$$\alpha=\frac{2.4}{80}=0.03 /{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}=3 \times 10^{-2} /{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$$
