The resistance R of a conductor varies with temperature as shown in Fig. 4.57. If it is written as : R1=R01+αt+βt2

a
α and β are both negative
b
α is positive but β is negative
c
α and β are both positive
d
α is negative but β is positive

detailed solution

Correct option is C

In graph R ↑ so dRdt>0 so R0α+2βt>0Also, dRdt↑so d2Rdt2>0 so R02β>0⇒β>0For all 't' α+2βt>0 so α>0
