MCQ
The current flowing through a conductor connected across a source is $2\,A$ and $1.2\,A$ at $0^{\circ}\,C$ and $100^{\circ}\,C$ respectively. The current flowing through the conductor at $50^{\circ}\,C$ will be $......\times 10^2\,mA$.
  • A
    $14$
  • B
    $13$
  • C
    $12$
  • $15$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$15$
d
$i_0 R_0=i_{100} R_{100} \quad$ [For same source]

$\Rightarrow 2 R_0=1.2 R_0[1+100 \alpha]$

$\Rightarrow 1+100 \alpha=\frac{5}{3} \Rightarrow 100 \alpha=\frac{2}{3}$

$\Rightarrow 50 \alpha=\frac{1}{3}$

$\therefore i_{50} R_{50}=i_0 R_0$

$\Rightarrow i_{50}=\frac{i_0 R_0}{R_{50}}=\frac{2 \times R_0}{R_0(1+50 \alpha)}=\frac{2}{1+\frac{1}{3}}=1.5\,A$

$=15 \times 10^2\,mA$
