22. This question contains Statement 1 and Statement 2. Of the four choices given after the statements,
choose the one that best describes the two statements.
Statement 1. The temperature dependence of resistance is usually given as R = R0 (1 + t). The
resistance of a wire changes from 100 to 150 when its temperature is increased form 27C to
227C. This implies that = 2.5 103/C.
Statement 2. R = Ri (1 + T) is valid only when the change in the temperature T is small and
R = (R R0) << R0.
(A) Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false
(B) Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true; Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1.

1.
