JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 3. current electricity

A heating element has a resistance of  \(100\,\Omega \) at room temperature. When it is connected to a supply of  \(220\,V,\)  a steady current of \(2\,A\)  passes in it and temperature is \(500\,^oC\) more than room temperature. What is the temperature coefficient resistance of the heating element?

  1. A \(1\, \times \,{10^{ - {4}}}\,\,{^oC^{ - 1}}\)
  2. B \(5\, \times \,{10^{ - {4}}}\,\,{^oC^{ - 1}}\)
  3. C \(2\, \times \,{10^{ - {4}}}\,\,{^oC^{ - 1}}\)
  4. D \(0.5\, \times \,{10^{ - {4}}}\,\,{^oC^{ - 1}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(2\, \times \,{10^{ - {4}}}\,\,{^oC^{ - 1}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Resistance after temperature increases by \(500\,{\,^o}C\,\,i.e.,\,{R_t}\, = \,\frac{V}{I}\, = \frac{{220}}{2}\, = 110\,\Omega \) \(R_0 = 100\) (given) temperature coefficient of resistance, \(\alpha = ?\) using \(R_t = R_0( 1 + \alpha t)\) \(110 = 100 (1 + \alpha 500)\)…
