Q.

At room temperature (27°C) the resistance of a heating element is 50 Ω. The temperature coefficient of the material is 2.4×10-4o C-1. The temperature of the element, when its resistance is 62 Ω, is ______ Co.     [2024]


Ans.

(1027)       R0=50Ω; α=2.4×10-4o C-1; R=62Ω

                   R=R0(1+αT)

                  62=50(1+2.4×10-4×T)

                   1.24=1+2.4×10-4×T

                   0.24=2.4×10-4×T

                   T=0.242.4×10-4=1000

                    Final temperature, Tf=1000+27=1027oC
