The temperature coefficient of resistance of certain wire is 0.00150 per °C. At 300 K, its resistance is 1 Ω. The resistance of wire will be 2 Ω at what temp value

The temperature coefficient of resistance of certain wire is 0.00150 per °C. At 300 K, its resistance is 1 Ω. The resistance of wire will be 2 Ω at what temp value:

  1. 585.53 K
  2. 966.66 K
  3. 1052.33 K
  4. 2200 K

Correct answer: 2. 966.66 K

Explanation:

The resistance of wire at 300 K or 27° C is 1 Ω. (Since Celsius = Kelvin – 273.15)

Let’s assume R1 = 1 Ω

Let’s assume at t° C the resistance of wire is 2 Ω

From formula:

R2 = R1 [ 1 + α (t – 27) ]

Where α = Temperature coefficient of resistance

OR

2 = 1 [ 1 + 0.0015 (t – 27)]

Solving above:

t = 693.66° C

Temp in Kelvin

t = 693.66 + 273 = 966.66 K

The total charge entering terminal of an element is given by equation

The total charge entering terminal of an element is given by equation:

q = (9t2 – 15t)mC

The current at t = 3s is:

  1. 3 mA
  2. 6 mA
  3. 12 mA
  4. 18 mA

Correct answer: 3. 12 mA

Explanation:

i = dq/dt = d/dt (q) = d/dt (9t2 – 15t) mA = (9t – 15) mA

At t = 3s

i = 9(3) – 15 = 12 mA
