Exercise from the chapter "Ohm's law & resistance"
Level 3 of 5 · Skills: Calculate
A conductor has a resistance of 39 Ω at 25 °C, its temperature coefficient being 0.0045 /°C. What is its resistance if the temperature rises to 60 °C?
Rθ₁ = 39 Ω · θ₁ = 25 °C · α = 0.0045 /°C · θ₂ = 60 °C
Parametric exercise: the values change with every draw; these are one example.
Guided problem in 4 steps: unknown, formula, units, data, result.
Go back through 0 °C: R₀ = 39 / (1 + 0.0045 × 25); then Rθ₂ = R₀ × (1 + 0.0045 × 60) = 44.5 Ω.
