The resistance of a nichrome wire at 0°C is 10Ω. If its temperature coefficient of resistivity of nichrome is 0.004/ °C, find its resistance of the wire at boiling point of water. Comment on the result.

उत्तर
Given data:
R0 = 10Ω
The boiling point of water T = 100°C
α = 0.004°C
RT = ?
Formula:
RT = R0 [l + αT)]
RT = 10 [1 + (0.004 × 100)]
= 10(1 + 0.4)
= 10 (1.4)
RT = 14Ω
As the temperature increase the resistance of the wire also increases.

Write a short note on superconductors?
The circuit depicted in the figure is employed for studying Ohm’s Law. Instead of using a standard resistor, a student opts for a glass tube filled with mercury (tube 1), connected to the circuit through two electrodes, E1 and E2. He records the readings of the ammeter and voltmeter, thereby calculating the resistance. The student repeats the experiment by substituting tube 1 with tube 2, where the same amount of mercury fills tube 2.
Neglecting internal resistance of the cell use (> or < or =) to compare:
- the resistance in both the cases.
- the voltmeter readings in both the cases.
- the specific resistance in both the cases.
