Q.

An electric toaster has resistance of 60Ω at room temperature (27°C). The toaster is connected to a 220 V supply. If the current flowing through it reaches 2.75 A, the temperature attained by toaster is around   

(if α=2×10-4/Co)                   [2024]

1 694°C  
2 1235°C  
3 1694°C  
4 1667°C  

Ans.

(3)     

           Rnew=V/I=80Ω

            Rnew=Rold[1+αT]

             80=60[1+2×10-4T]

             T=1666.67

              T-27=1666.67

              T=1693.66=1694oC
