The resistance of platinium wire at 0°C is 4Ω What will be the resistance of the wire at 100°C. If the temperature coefficient of resistance of platinium is 0.0038/°C
We know, Resistance depend on temperature by relation.
R100 = 4(1 + 0.0038 × 100)
R100 = 4(1 + 0.38)
The correct answer is: 5.52Ω

So, charge at the boundary of two conductors
The correct answer is:
A current of 1A flows through a copper wire. How many electron pass through any cross-section of the wire in 1.6 seconds. (Charge on electron in 1.6 × 10–19C)
I = 1A

A battery of 6 cells, each of emf 2V and internal resistance 0.5Ω is being charged by a 220V supplying an external resistance of 10Ω is series. The potential difference across the battery is :
Total emf of the battery = 12 V
Total internal resistance of the battery = 3Ω
Current through battery (I) =
