Resistance of a wire at temperature t^(@...

Resistance of a wire at temperature `t^(@)C` is
`R = R_(0)(1+at+bt^(2))`
Here, `R_(0)` is the temperature at `0^(@)C`. The temperature coefficient of resistance at temperature t is

A

`((1+alphat+betat^2))/(alpha+2beta t)`

B

`(alpha+2beta t)`

C

`(alpha +2 beta t)/((1 +alphat + beta t^2))`

D

`(alpha +2betat)/(2(1+alpaht +beta r^2))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

`alpha = (1)/(R_(t))(dR_(t))/(dt) = (1)/(R_t)=(1)/(R_t) R_0 [ alpha +2betat]`
`alpha=(R_(0)[alpha+2betat])/(R_(0)[1+alpha t+betat^(2)])=(alpha+2betat)/(1+alpha t+beta t^(2))`
