The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the temperature at which the resistance of the wire becomes 2 Ohms, given that the resistance is 1 Ohm at 300 K and the temperature coefficient of resistance is \( \alpha = 0.001259 \, ^\circ C^{-1} \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the relationship between resistance and temperature**: The resistance of a material changes with temperature according to the formula: \[ R_T = R_0 (1 + \alpha (T - T_0)) \] where: - \( R_T \) is the resistance at temperature \( T \), - \( R_0 \) is the resistance at reference temperature \( T_0 \), - \( \alpha \) is the temperature coefficient of resistance, - \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvin, - \( T_0 \) is the reference temperature in Kelvin. 2. **Substituting known values**: We know: - \( R_0 = 1 \, \Omega \) at \( T_0 = 300 \, K \), - \( R_T = 2 \, \Omega \). Plugging these values into the formula gives: \[ 2 = 1 (1 + 0.001259 (T - 300)) \] 3. **Simplifying the equation**: This simplifies to: \[ 2 = 1 + 0.001259 (T - 300) \] Subtracting 1 from both sides: \[ 1 = 0.001259 (T - 300) \] 4. **Isolating \( T \)**: Dividing both sides by \( 0.001259 \): \[ T - 300 = \frac{1}{0.001259} \] Now calculate \( \frac{1}{0.001259} \): \[ T - 300 \approx 794.3 \] 5. **Calculating \( T \)**: Adding 300 to both sides: \[ T \approx 794.3 + 300 = 1094.3 \, K \] 6. **Final answer**: Rounding to the nearest whole number, we find: \[ T \approx 1094 \, K \] ### Conclusion: Thus, the temperature at which the resistance of the wire becomes 2 Ohms is approximately **1094 K**.
