The resistance of a platinum wire of platinum resistance thermometer at the ice point is `5 Omega` and at steam point is `5.23 Omega`. When therometer is insertes in a hot bath, the resistance of the platinum wire is `5.795 Omega`. Calculate the temperature of the bath?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`R _(0) =5 Omega, R _(100) = 5.23 Omega and R _(t) = 5.795 Omega`
Now, `t = (R _(t) - R_(0))/( R _(100) - R _(0)) xx 100, R _(t) = R_(0) (1 + alpha t )`
`= ( 5. 795)/(0.23) xx 100 = 345. 65 ^(@)C`
