Resistance of a tungsten filament at 150 degree Celsius is 133 Ohm . What will be the resistance at 500 degree Celsius the temperature coefficient of resistance of tungsten at zero degree celsius is 0.004 5 degree Celsius inverse

Solution
Dear Student
Rt = Ro(1+t),
where Rt is the resistance at temperature t , is the coefficient of resisrance and Ro is the resistance at 0 degree.
133 = Ro(1+0.0045*150)
this gives Ro = 79.4
From this
Rt = 79.4(1+0.0045*500)
=258.05Ohm
