The resistance of an electrical toaster has a temperature dependence given by $R(T) = R_0[1 + \alpha(T - T_0)]$ in its range of operation. At $T_0 = 300\,K, R = 100\,\Omega$ and at $T = 500\,K, R = 120\,\Omega$. The toaster is connected to a voltage source of $200\,V$ and its temperature is raised at a constant rate from $300\,K$ to $500\,K$ in $30\,s$. The total work done in raising the temperature is:

  • A
    $400\,\ln(1.5/1.3)\,J$
  • B
    $200\,\ln(2/3)\,J$
  • C
    $300\,J$
  • D
    $400\,\ln(5/6)\,J$

When the power delivered by a $100\,V$ battery is $40\,W$,the equivalent resistance of the circuit is ........... $\Omega$.

$A$ potential $V_0$ is applied across a uniform wire of resistance $R$. The power dissipation is $P_1$. The wire is then cut into two equal halves and a potential of $V_0$ is applied across the length of each half. The total power dissipation across two wires is $P_2$. The ratio $P_2: P_1$ is $\sqrt{x}: 1$. The value of $x$ is $.............$.
