The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the formula for the resistance of a conductor as a function of temperature: \[ R = R_0 (1 + \alpha (T - T_0)) \] Where: - \( R \) is the resistance at temperature \( T \), - \( R_0 \) is the resistance at a reference temperature \( T_0 \), - \( \alpha \) is the temperature coefficient of resistance, - \( T \) is the final temperature in degrees Celsius, - \( T_0 \) is the reference temperature in degrees Celsius. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given values:** - Temperature coefficient of resistance, \( \alpha = 0.00125 \, \text{per} \, ^\circ C \) - Initial resistance, \( R_1 = 1 \, \Omega \) at \( T_1 = 300 \, K \) (which is \( 27 \, ^\circ C \)) - Final resistance, \( R_2 = 2 \, \Omega \) 2. **Convert the initial temperature to Celsius:** \[ T_1 = 300 \, K - 273.15 = 26.85 \, ^\circ C \approx 27 \, ^\circ C \] 3. **Set up the equations for the resistances:** - For the initial resistance: \[ R_1 = R_0 (1 + \alpha (T_1 - 0)) \] - For the final resistance: \[ R_2 = R_0 (1 + \alpha (T_2 - 0)) \] 4. **Substituting the known values into the equations:** - From the first equation: \[ 1 = R_0 (1 + 0.00125 \times 27) \] - Simplifying: \[ 1 = R_0 (1 + 0.03375) \] \[ 1 = R_0 \times 1.03375 \] \[ R_0 = \frac{1}{1.03375} \approx 0.967 \, \Omega \] 5. **Now substitute \( R_0 \) into the second equation:** \[ 2 = 0.967 (1 + 0.00125 T_2) \] 6. **Solving for \( T_2 \):** - Rearranging: \[ 2 = 0.967 + 0.00125 \times 0.967 T_2 \] \[ 2 - 0.967 = 0.00125 \times 0.967 T_2 \] \[ 1.033 = 0.00125 \times 0.967 T_2 \] \[ T_2 = \frac{1.033}{0.00125 \times 0.967} \] \[ T_2 \approx \frac{1.033}{0.00120875} \approx 854.2 \, ^\circ C \] 7. **Convert \( T_2 \) back to Kelvin:** \[ T_2 = 854.2 + 273.15 \approx 1127.35 \, K \] ### Final Answer: The resistance of the wire will be 2 ohms at approximately **1127 K**.

To solve the problem, we will use the formula for the resistance of a conductor as a function of temperature: \[ R = R_0 (1 + \alpha (T - T_0)) \] Where: - \( R \) is the resistance at temperature \( T \), - \( R_0 \) is the resistance at a reference temperature \( T_0 \), - \( \alpha \) is the temperature coefficient of resistance, ...
