Resistor Temperature Coefficient Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Resistor Temperature Coefficient.
RTC = dT / (t*R)
Variables:
- RTC is the Resistor Temperature Coefficient (C/(hr-ohm))
- dT is the total temperature change (C)
- t is the total time (hr)
- R is the total resistance (ohms)
How to Calculate Resistor Temperature Coefficient?
The following steps outline how to calculate the Resistor Temperature Coefficient.
- First, determine the total temperature change (C).
- Next, determine the total time (min).
- Next, determine the total resistance (ohms).
- Next, gather the formula from above = RTC = dT / (t*R).
- Finally, calculate the Resistor Temperature Coefficient.
- After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.
Example Problem:
Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.
total temperature change (C) = 30
total time (hr) = 2
total resistance (ohms) = 50
RTC = dT / (t*R) = ?
