    The temperature coefficient of resistivity of a material is 0.0004/K. When the temperature of the material is increased by \[50{}^\circ C\], its resistivity increases by \[2\times {{10}^{-8}}\]ohm- metre. The initial resistivity of the material in ohm- metre is:

    A)                 \[50\times {{10}^{-8}}\]                               

    B)                  \[90\times {{10}^{-8}}\]

    C)                  \[100\,\times \,{{10}^{-8}}\]                     

    D)                  \[200\times {{10}^{-8}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                     Given: Temperature difference                 \[{{t}_{2}}-{{t}_{1}}=50{{\,}^{o}}C\]                 And resistivity difference                 \[{{\rho }_{t}}-{{\rho }_{0}}=2\times {{10}^{-8}}\Omega -m\]                 and      \[\alpha =0.0004/K\]                 \[{{\rho }_{t}}={{\rho }_{0}}[1+\alpha ({{t}_{2}}-{{t}_{1}})]\]                 \[{{\rho }_{t}}-{{\rho }_{0}}={{\rho }_{0}}\alpha ({{t}_{2}}-{{t}_{1}})\]                 or            \[{{\rho }_{0}}=\frac{{{\rho }_{t}}-{{\rho }_{0}}}{\alpha ({{t}_{2}}-{{t}_{1}})}\]                                     ?(i)                 Now, putting the given values in Eq. (i) we get                 \[{{\rho }_{0}}=\frac{2\times {{10}^{-8}}}{4\times {{10}^{-4}}\times 50}\]                 \[=100\times {{10}^{-8}}\Omega m\]
