Answer:

R = 11.8 ohms

Explanation:

Formula

R = R_ref[1 + a(T - T_ref)]

Givens

  • R_ref = 10 ohms
  • T_ref = 20oC
  • T = 65oC
  • a = 0.004
  • R = resistance at 65oC = ???

Solution

R = 10*[1 + 0.004(65 - 20)]

R = 10*[1 + 0.004(45)]

R = 10*[1 + 0.18]

R = 10*(1.18)

R = 11.8 ohms

Be sure you understand not to add the 1 and 0.004 together. You don't get 1.004 at any point of the solution. If you do, you won't know what to do (exactly) with the 45.
