Hello there,

I want to know, what is the equation formula for "Final Temperature" with Temperature Coefficient of Resistance? Let I show you the question as below:

The resistance of a component at 0°C is 55Ω and increases to 61Ω when subjected to a rise in temperature. Calculate the change in temperature if the temperature coefficient of resistance of the component is 0.0018/°C.

Need to answer to T2.

Can you show me the formula?

Thank you for your assistance.

Regards,
Bogumil

Thank you for your response but your answer is for "Final Resistance" but I am looking "Final Temperaturion".

(1/a)(Rf/Ri -1) + Ti = Tf

At last, thank you very much.
