A resistance thermometer has a resistance of 20\(\Omega\) at 0
oC and 85\(\Omega\) at 100
oC. If its resistance is 52\(\Omega\)in a medium, calculate the corresponding temperature
-
A.
49.2oC
-
B.
60.6oC
-
C.
80.0oC
-
D.
84.7oC
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation
85\(\Omega\) ........100oC
52\(\Omega\) ........\(\theta\)oC
20\(\Omega\) ........0oC
\(\frac{52 - 20}{85 - 20} = \frac{\theta - 0}{100 - 0}\)
\(\theta = \frac{32 \times 100}{65} = 49.2^oC\)
