In an experiment to determine the temperature coefficient of resistance of a conductor,a coil of wire $X$ is immersed in a liquid. It is heated by an external agent. $A$ meter bridge setup is used to determine the resistance of the coil $X$ at different temperatures. The balancing points measured at temperatures $t_1=0^{\circ} C$ and $t_2=100^{\circ} C$ are $50 \ cm$ and $60 \ cm$ respectively. If the standard resistance taken out is $S=4 \ \Omega$ in both trials,the temperature coefficient of the coil is

  • A
    $0.05^{\circ} C^{-1}$
  • B
    $0.02^{\circ} C^{-1}$
  • C
    $0.005^{\circ} C^{-1}$
  • D
    $2.0^{\circ} C^{-1}$
