The resistance of a certain electrical device is 46 ohms at 25° C. If the temperature coefficient of the material is 0.00454 at 20° C, determine the temperature of the device when its resistance is 92 ohms.
Added by Miguel -Ngel E.
Step 1
You are given the initial resistance of an electrical device (46 ohms) at an initial temperature (25°C), the temperature coefficient of the material at 20°C (0.00454/°C), and the final resistance of the device (92 ohms). You need to find the final temperature of Show more…
