Exercise from the chapter "Ohm's law & resistance"
Level 3 of 5 · Skills: Calculate
After some running time, a machine winding has a resistance of 621 Ω at 80 °C. What is its cold resistance, i.e. at 20 °C? (α = 0.006 /°C)
Rθ₂ = 621.1 Ω · θ₂ = 80 °C · α = 0.006 /°C · θ₁ = 20 °C
Parametric exercise: the values change with every draw; these are one example.
Guided problem in 4 steps: unknown, formula, units, data, result.
R₀ = 621.1 / (1 + 0.006 × 80); Rθ₁ = R₀ × (1 + 0.006 × 20) = 470 Ω.
