Answer : 9.36ohms/ temperature
Explanation:
Expression for the variation of resistance of platinum with temperature
Rt= Ro(1+*t)
Rt= resistance @ t°C
Ro= resistance @ 0°C
*= temperature coefficient of resistance
Calculate the change in resistance by putting 120ohms for Ro,
0.0039/K for *
20°C for t
Using this formula:
Rt = Ro(1+*t)
Rt- Ro = Ro*t
= (120ohms)(0.0039/K)(20°C)
= 9.36ohms/K
