Relation between temperature and resistance of a conductor is ________(a) Rt = Rref [1+t](b) Rt = Rref [1+α∆t](c) Rt = Rref [1-αt](d) Rt = Rref [1-t]The question was asked in class test.My doubt stems from Resistance Temperature Detector topic in section Transducers of Electrical Measurements

Answer» CORRECT choice is (B) RT = Rref [1+α∆t]

To explain I would say: The RELATIONSHIP between temperature and resistance of a conductor is given by

Rt = Rref [1+α∆t]

where, Rt is the resistance of the conductor at t°C.

Rref is the resistance of the conductor at reference temperature

α is the temperature coefficient of resistance

∆t is the difference between the temperature being MEASURED and the reference temperature.
