Answer:
T₂ = 95.56°C
Explanation:
The final resistance of a material after being heated is given by the relation:
R' = R(1 + αΔT)
where,
R' = Final Resistance = 207.4 Ω
R = Initial Resistance = 154.9 Ω
α = Temperature Coefficient of Resistance of Tungsten = 0.0045 °C⁻¹
ΔT = Change in Temperature = ?
Therefore,
207.4 Ω = 154.9 Ω[1 + (0.0045°C⁻¹)ΔT]
207.4 Ω/154.9 Ω = 1 + (0.0045°C⁻¹)ΔT
1.34 - 1 = (0.0045°C⁻¹)ΔT
ΔT = 0.34/0.0045°C⁻¹
ΔT = 75.56°C
but,
ΔT = Final Temperature - Initial Temperature
ΔT = T₂ - T₁ = T₂ - 20°C
T₂ - 20°C = 75.56°C
T₂ = 75.56°C + 20°C
<u>T₂ = 95.56°C</u>
