Statement - 1: The temperature dependence of resistance is usually given as $R = {R_0}\left( {1 + \alpha \,\Delta t} \right).$ The resistance of wire changes from $100\Omega $ to $150\Omega $ when its temperature is increased from ${27^ \circ }C$ to ${227^ \circ }C$. This implies that $\alpha = 2.5 \times {10^{ - 3}}/C.$ Statement - 2: $R = {R_0}\left( {1 + \alpha \,\Delta t} \right)$ is valid only when the change in the temperature $\Delta T$ is small and $\Delta T = \left( {R - {R_0}} \right) < < {R_0}.$

Question

Statement - 1: The temperature dependence of resistance is usually given as $R = {R_0}\left( {1 + \alpha \,\Delta t} \right).$ The resistance of wire changes from $100\Omega $ to $150\Omega $ when its temperature is increased from ${27^ \circ }C$ to ${227^ \circ }C$. This implies that $\alpha = 2.5 \times {10^{ - 3}}/C.$

Statement - 2: $R = {R_0}\left( {1 + \alpha \,\Delta t} \right)$ is valid only when the change in the temperature $\Delta T$ is small and $\Delta T = \left( {R - {R_0}} \right) < < {R_0}.$

Statement - 1 is true, Statement - 2 is true; Statement - 2 is the correct explanation of Statement - 1
