    A silver wire has a resistance of \[1.6\text{ }\Omega \]. At \[{{25.5}^{o}}C,\] and a resistance of \[2.5\text{ }\Omega \]. at  \[{{100}^{o}}C,\] then temperature coefficient of resistivity of silver is

    A)  \[5.55\times {{10}^{-3}}\,{{\,}^{o}}C\]     

    B)  \[7.55\times {{10}^{-3}}\,{{\,}^{o}}C\]

    C)  \[11.75\times {{10}^{-2}}\,{{\,}^{o}}C\]    

    D)  \[15.5\times {{10}^{-3}}\,{{\,}^{o}}C\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[{{R}_{2}}={{R}_{1}}[1+\alpha ({{T}_{2}}-{{T}_{1}})\] \[\frac{({{R}_{2}}-{{R}_{1}})}{({{T}_{2}}-{{T}_{1}})}\times \frac{1}{{{R}_{1}}}=\alpha \] \[\frac{(2.5-1.6)}{(100-25.5)}\times \frac{1}{1.6}=\alpha \] \[\frac{0.9}{74.5}\times \frac{1}{16}=\alpha \] \[0.0075503=\alpha \] \[\alpha =7.55\times {{10}^{-3}}^{o}C\]
