Find the resistance of 240 V - 200 watt ...

Find the resistance of `240 V - 200` watt electric bulb when glowing. If this resistance is `10` times the resistance at `0^(@)C` and the temperature of the glowing filament is `2000^(@)C`, then find the temperature coefficient of resistance of the filament.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

For hot bulb at temperature,
`t = 2000^@C`,
Resistance, `R_(t) = V^(2)/P = (220)^(2)/200 = 242 Omega`
Resistance of bulb at room temperature
`R = R_(t)/12 = 242/12 ~~ 12 Omega`
Since `R_(t) = R[ 1 + alpha xx (1000 -30)]`
`242 = 20[1 + alpha + 1970]`
`14.1 = 1 +alpha xx 1970`
`alpha = 13.1/1970 = 6.6 xx 10^(-3).^(@)C^(-1)`
