A piece of copper wire has a resistance of `25 Omega` at `10^(@)C`. What is the maximum operating temperature, if the resistance of the wire is to be increased by 20 % ? (Assume `alpha` at `10^(@)C=0.0041// .^(@)C^(-1)`).A. `60.38^(@)C`B. `58.78^(@)C`C. `40.73^(@)C`D. `20.23^(@)C` |

Answer» Correct Answer - B `R_(1)=50 Omega, t_(1)=10^(@)C, alpha_(1)=0.0041^(@)C` `R_(2)=50+0.2xx50=60 Omega` `t_(2)` = the unknown temperature at which R will be `60 Omega`. Since, `" " R_(t_(2))=R_(t_(1))[1+alpha_(t_(1))(t_(2)-t_(1))]` Here, `" " R_(2)=R_(1)[1+alpha_(t_(1))(t_(2)-t_(1))]` `" " 60=50[1+0.0041xx(t_(2)-10)]` `rArr " " t_(2)-10=((60)/(50)-1)xx(1)/(0.0041)` or `" " t_(2)=58.78 .^(@)C` |
