The resistances of the platinum wire of a platinum resistance thermometer at the ice point and steam point are \(8 \Omega\) and \(10 \Omega\) respectively. After inserting in a hot bath of temperature \(400^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), the resistance of platinum wire is _______.
Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(16 \Omega\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(\text { Given } \mathrm{R}_0=8 \Omega, \mathrm{R}_{100}=10 \Omega\)
\(\therefore \mathrm{R}_{100}=\mathrm{R}_0(1+\alpha \Delta \mathrm{T})\)
\(\text { Also, } \mathrm{R}_{400}=\mathrm{R}_0\left(1+\alpha \Delta \mathrm{T}^1\right)\)
\(\therefore 10=8(1+\alpha \times 100) \Rightarrow 100 \alpha=\frac{1}{4}\)
\(\therefore \mathrm{R}_{400}=8(1+400 \alpha)=8(1+1)=16 \Omega\)
Hence option \((2)\)
