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 _______.

  1. A \(2 \Omega\)
  2. B \(16 \Omega\)
  3. C \(8 \Omega\)
  4. D \(10 \Omega\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(16 \Omega\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\text { Given } \mathrm{R}_0=8 \Omega, \mathrm{R}_{100}=10 \Omega\) \(\therefore \mathrm{R}_{100}=\mathrm{R}_0(1+\alpha \Delta \mathrm{T})\) \(\text { Also, } \mathrm{R}_{400}=\mathrm{R}_0\left(1+\alpha \Delta \mathrm{T}^1\right)\)…
