The resistance of a wire is 5 ohm at 50^...

The resistance of a wire is 5 ohm at `50^@C` and 6 ohm at `100^@C`. The resistance of the wire at `0^@C` will be

A

`3 Omega`

B

`2 Omega`

C

`1 Omega`

D

`4 Omega`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Let `R=R_(0)` at `0^(@)C`
`5=R_(0)(1+alphaxx50).....(i)`
`6=R_(0)(1+alphaxx100)....(ii)`
Solving `(i)` and `(ii) implies R_(0)=4 Omega`
