A platinum resistance thermometer wire has a resistance of 5 ohms at 0oC and 5.5 ohms at 100oC. Calculate the temperature of the wire when the resistance is 5.2 ohms
A
80oC
B
60oC
C
40oC
D
10oC
correct option: c
100oC .... 5.5
(\theta)oC .... 5.3
0oC .... 5.0
(\frac{\theta - 0}{100 - 0}) = (\frac{5.5 - 5 .0}{5.5 - 5.0})
(\theta) = 40oC
