100 PROBLEMS IN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING - PART – 08 – FIVE PROBLEMS ON TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT

PROBLEM – 01
The filament of a 220 V metal-filament lamp is to be constructed from a wire having a diameter of 0.02 mm and a resistivity at 20 degree centigrade of 5 µΏ-cm. If α = 0.005 per degree centigrade, what length of filament is necessary if the lamp is to dissipate 100 watts at a filament temperature of 2000 degree centigrade.
PROBLEM – 02
Find the current flowing at the instant of switching on a 40 W lamp filament on to a 220 V circuit, if the filament temperature at normal operating condition is 2800 degree centigrade. Resistance temperature coefficient of the filament at room temperature of 20 degree centigrade = 0.005 per degree centigrade.

PROBLEM – 03
A copper conductor has its specific resistance of 1.6 x 10^-6 Ώ-cm at 0 degree centigrade and a resistance temperature coefficient 39.3 x 10^-4 per degree centigrade at 20 degree centigrade. Find (i) the specific resistance (ii) the resistance-temperature coefficient at 80 degree centigrade.

PROBLEM – 04
The resistance temperature co-efficient for a certain copper wire is 0.004 and for carbon filament it is 0.0003. How many ohms of carbon filament is series with a 80 ohm copper wire will make the total combined resistance invariant with temperature.
  
PROBLEM – 05
Two conductors one of copper and other of Iron are connected in parallel. At 20 degree centigrade, they carry equal currents.

If the temperature is raised to 180 degree centigrade, what is the proportion of the total current will each conductor carry?
