Question 17 of 126

At room temperature (27∘C)\left(27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\right), the resistance of a heating element is 50Ω50 \Omega. The temperature coefficient of the material is 2.4×10−4∘C−12.4 \times 10^{-4}{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}^{-1}. The temperature of the element, when its resistance is 62Ω62 \Omega, is _____ ∘C{ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C}.

Show answer and solution

Answer: 1027

R=R0(1+αΔT)62=50[1+2.4×10−4ΔT]ΔT=1000∘C⇒T−27∘=1000∘CT=1027∘C\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{R}=\mathrm{R}_0(1+\alpha \Delta \mathrm{T}) \\ & 62=50\left[1+2.4 \times 10^{-4} \Delta \mathrm{T}\right] \\ & \Delta \mathrm{T}=1000^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{T}-27^{\circ}=1000^{\circ} \mathrm{C} \\ & \mathrm{T}=1027^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\end{aligned}
