Information About

Temperature Coefficient




  • ''R'' = physical property

  • ''T'' = temperature

  • ''T''0 = reference temperature

  • ''α'' = temperature coefficient in the temperature interval Δ''t'' = ''T'' − ''T''0


R


Here ''α'' has the dimensions of an inverse temperature (1/K or K−1).


TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT OF ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE


The temperature dependence of Electrical Resistance and thus of electronic devices ( Wire s, Resistor s) has to be taken into account when constructing devices and Circuits . On the other hand, this property is used in devices such as Thermistor s.

  • exp(''b''/''T'').
