At room temperature (\(25.0^\circ C\)) the resistance of a heating element is \(100 \Omega\). The temperature of the element at which resistance becomes \(125.5 \Omega\) is : (Given that the temperature coefficient of the material of the resistor is \(1.70 \times 10^{-4} \text{ } ^\circ C^{-1}\))

  1. A \(1525^\circ C\)
  2. B \(1500^\circ C\)
  3. C \(1475^\circ C\)
  4. D 1500 K
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1525^\circ C\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\( R = R_0 [1 + \alpha (T - T_0)] \) \( T = T_0 + \frac{1}{\alpha} \left( \frac{R}{R_0} - 1 \right) \) \( T = 25.0^\circ C + \frac{1}{1.70 \times 10^{-4} \text{ } ^\circ C^{-1}} \left( \frac{125.5 \Omega}{100 \Omega} - 1 \right) \)…
