The resistance of a conductor at \(15^{\circ} {C}\) is \(16\, \Omega\) and at \(100\, {C}\) is \(20\, \Omega\). What will be the temperature coefficient of resistance of the conductor?
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(0.003^{\circ} \,{C}^{-1}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
variation of resistance with temperature
\(16=R_{0}\left[1+\alpha\left(15-T_{0}\right)\right]\)
\(20=R_{0}\left[1+\alpha\left(100-T_{0}\right)\right]\)
Assuming \({T}_{0}=0^{\circ} {C}\), as a general convention.
\(\Rightarrow \frac{16}{20}=\frac{1+\alpha \times 15}{1+\alpha \times 100} \Rightarrow \alpha=0.003^{\circ} {C}^{-1}\)
