Zorluk: OrtaElectric Current and Resistance

A resistance thermometer has a resistance of 5.0 Ω5.0\,\Omega at 0∘C0^\circ\text{C} and 5.8 Ω5.8\,\Omega at 40∘C40^\circ\text{C}. What is the temperature coefficient of resistance of the material in K−1\text{K}^{-1}?

Cevap: 0.004 K^-1

Cevap

The temperature coefficient of resistance of the material is 0.004 K−10.004\,\text{K}^{-1} (or 4.0×10−3 K−14.0 \times 10^{-3}\,\text{K}^{-1}).
The temperature coefficient of resistance is calculated using α=RT−R0R0ΔT\alpha = \frac{R_T - R_0}{R_0 \Delta T}. Substituting R0=5.0 ΩR_0 = 5.0\,\Omega, RT=5.8 ΩR_T = 5.8\,\Omega, and ΔT=40 K\Delta T = 40\,\text{K} yields α=0.8200=0.004 K−1\alpha = \frac{0.8}{200} = 0.004\,\text{K}^{-1}.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the relationship between resistance and temperature.
RT=R0(1+αΔT)R_T = R_0(1 + \alpha \Delta T), with R0=5.0 ΩR_0 = 5.0\,\Omega, RT=5.8 ΩR_T = 5.8\,\Omega, and ΔT=40∘C\Delta T = 40^\circ\text{C}.
The resistance of metallic conductors varies linearly with temperature for moderate temperature changes.
2
Rearrange the expression to isolate the temperature coefficient α\alpha.
\alpha = \frac{R_T - R_0}{R_0 \Delta T}
Isolating α\alpha allows direct computation from the given resistance values and temperature interval.
3
Calculate the numerical value of α\alpha.
\alpha = \frac{5.8 - 5.0}{5.0 \times 40} = \frac{0.8}{200} = 0.004\,\text{K}^{-1}
Dividing the change in resistance by the product of initial resistance and temperature change gives the fractional resistance change per unit temperature change.
