The resistance of the platinum wire of a platinum resistance thermometer at the ice point is 5 \(\Omega\) and at steam point, it is 5.23 \(\Omega\). When the thermometer is inserted in a hot bath, the resistance of the platinum wire becomes 5.795 \(\Omega\). Find the temperature of the bath.

  1. A \(27^{\circ} C\)
  2. B \(172.8^{\circ} C\)
  3. C \(345.65^{\circ} C\)
  4. D \(691.24^{\circ} C\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(345.65^{\circ} C\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(T = \frac{R_t - R_0}{R_{100} - R_0} \times 100^{\circ}C\) \(T = \frac{5.795 - 5}{5.23 - 5} \times 100^{\circ}C\) \(T = \frac{0.795}{0.23} \times 100^{\circ}C\) \(T = 3.4565217 \times 100^{\circ}C\) \(T = 345.65^{\circ}C\)
