Temperature and Resistance Calculations

1. The document provides two solutions for calculating temperature (TF) given resistance (RF) values. 2. Solution 1 uses a reference temperature of 0°C and provides the formula to calculate TF when R0=113.21 Ω and α0=0.004 °C-1. 3. Solution 2 uses a reference temperature (Tx) other than 0°C, providing an example where Tx=15°C, Rx=120 Ω, and the formula to calculate TF.

SOLUTION 1

T F =150 C 0
T F =? T F =?
T F =15 C ;
R F=120 Ω R F=240 Ω

0
T 0=0 C ;
0 0
T 0=0 C ;
0 α at 0 C=0.004 ¿ C
α 0 at 00 C=0.004 ¿ 0 C R0 =113.21
0 Note α is always measured at 0 0 C 0
T 0=0 C ; T 0=0 C ;

This formulais at 0 C reference
24 0 Ω=113.2 0755 ( 1+ 0.004 ( T F −0 ) )
0
T F =280 C
120 Ω=R 0 ( 1+0.004 (15−0 ) )

R0 =113.20755 Ω

SOLUTION 2 (If you will not start at 0C as reference but at some temperature Tx:

T F =?
R F=2 4 0 Ω

T F =?
