$A$ heating element has a resistance of $100\,\Omega$ at room temperature. When it is connected to a supply of $220\,V$,a steady current of $2\,A$ passes through it and the temperature is $500\,^{\circ}C$ higher than room temperature. What is the temperature coefficient of resistance of the heating element?

  • A
    $1 \times 10^{-4}\,^{\circ}C^{-1}$
  • B
    $5 \times 10^{-4}\,^{\circ}C^{-1}$
  • C
    $2 \times 10^{-4}\,^{\circ}C^{-1}$
  • D
    $0.5 \times 10^{-4}\,^{\circ}C^{-1}$
