The resistance of platinum wire at \(0^{\circ}\,C\) is \(2\,\Omega\) and \(6.8\,\Omega\) at \(80^{\circ} \,C\). The temperature coefficient of resistance of the wire is :

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(3 \times 10^{-2}{ }\;^{\circ}C ^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(R _{ T }= R _0\left[1+\alpha\left( T - T _0\right)\right]\) \(6.8=2[1+\alpha(80-0)]\)
