    The temperature coefficient of resistance of the material of a wire is \[0.001/{}^\circ C\]. Its resistance at 300 K is 1\[\Omega \]. At what temperature will the resistance of the wire be \[2\,\Omega \]?

    A)  781 K                                   

    B)  1027 K

    C)  1054 K                                 

    D)  1327 K

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     Resistance of the wire also depends upon its temperature.                 \[{{R}_{t}}={{R}_{0}}(1+\alpha \,t)\] where \[\alpha =\] temperature coefficient of resistance. Here, \[\alpha =0.001{{/}^{o}}C\] \[\therefore \]  \[{{R}_{{{27}^{o}}C}}=1={{R}_{0}}(1+0.001\times 27)\]   ?. (i) Similarly,\[{{R}_{T}}={{R}_{{{(T-273)}^{o}}C}}=2\]                 \[={{R}_{0}}[1+0.0001\times (T-273)]\]  ... (ii) Dividing Eq. (i) by Eq. (ii), we get                 \[\frac{1}{2}=\frac{(1.027)}{1+0.001(T-273)}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[T=1327\,K\]
