    The resistance of the bulb filament is \[100\Omega \] at a temperature of \[{{100}^{{}^\circ }}C\]. If its temperature coefficient of resistance be 0.005 per \[^{{}^\circ }C\], its resistance will become \[200\Omega \] at a temperature

    A)  \[{{400}^{{}^\circ }}C\]

    B)  \[{{200}^{{}^\circ }}C\]

    C)  \[{{300}^{{}^\circ }}C\]

    D)  \[{{500}^{{}^\circ }}C\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    : As the resistance of the bulb filament at \[{{T}^{o}}C\]is \[{{R}_{T}}={{R}_{0}}(1+\alpha T)\] where \[{{R}_{0}}\] is its resistance at \[{{0}^{o}}C\]and a is the temperature coefficient of resistance. \[\therefore \]   \[{{R}_{{{T}_{1}}}}={{R}_{0}}(1+\alpha {{T}_{1}})\]         ?....(i) and \[{{R}_{{{T}_{2}}}}={{R}_{0}}(1+\alpha {{T}_{2}})\]         ???(ii) Dividing eqn. (i) by eqn. (ii), we get \[\frac{{{R}_{{{T}_{1}}}}}{{{R}_{{{T}_{2}}}}}=\frac{1+\alpha {{T}_{1}}}{1+\alpha {{T}_{2}}}\] Here, \[{{R}_{{{T}_{1}}}}=100\Omega ,\,{{T}_{1}}={{100}^{o}}C\] \[{{R}_{{{T}_{2}}}}=200\Omega ,\,{{T}_{2}}=?\] \[\alpha ={{0.005}^{o}}{{C}^{-1}}\] \[\therefore \] \[\frac{100\Omega }{200\Omega }=\frac{1+({{0.005}^{o}}{{C}^{-1}})({{100}^{o}}C)}{1+({{0.005}^{o}}{{C}^{-1}}){{T}_{2}}}\] \[\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1+0.5}{1+({{0.005}^{o}}{{C}^{-1}}){{T}_{2}}}\] \[2(1+0.5)=1+({{0.005}^{o}}{{C}^{-1}}){{T}_{2}}\] \[3=1+({{0.005}^{o}}{{C}^{-1}}){{T}_{2}}\] or \[({{0.005}^{o}}{{C}^{-1}}){{T}_{2}}=3-1=2\] \[{{T}_{2}}=\frac{2}{({{0.005}^{o}}{{C}^{-1}})}={{400}^{o}}C\]
