The resistance of platinum wire at $0^{\circ}\,C$ is $2\,\Omega$ and $6.8\,\Omega$ at $80^{\circ} \,C$. The temperature coefficient of resistance of the wire is :
  • A$3 \times 10^{-1}{ }\;^{\circ}\,C ^{-1}$
  • B$3 \times 10^{-4}{ }\;^{\circ}C ^{-1}$
  • C$3 \times 10^{-3}{ }\;^{\circ}C ^{-1}$
  • D$3 \times 10^{-2}{ }\;^{\circ}C ^{-1}$

    In the circuit shown below (on the left) the resistance and the emf source are both variable. The graph of seven readings of the voltmeter and the ammeter ( $V$ and $I$, respectively) for different settings of resistance and the emf, taken at equal intervals of time $\Delta t$, are shown below (on the right) by the dots connected by the curve $E F G H$. Consider the internal resistance of the battery to be negligible and the voltmeter an ammeter to be ideal devices. (Take, $R_0 \equiv \frac{V_0}{I_0}$ ).

    Then, the plot of the resistance as a function of time corresponding to the curve $E F G H$ is given by
