0.02020 ohm is the resistance of a carbon rod at 25.8 ∘C if its resistance is 0.0200 Ω at 0.0 ∘C.
<h3 /><h3>What is a resistor?</h3>A resistor is an electrical component that controls or restricts how much electrical current can pass across a circuit in an electronic device. A specified voltage can be supplied via resistors to an active device like a transistor.
The temperature of the resistor varies based on the variation in the temperature. The equation that describes the relationship between the two of them is:
R = R0[1+ alpha(T-T0)] where:
R is the new resistance we are looking for
alpha is the temperature coefficient of resistance. For carbon rod, alpha = ₋ 4.8 x (1/°c)
T0 is the standard temperature =25.8°C
R0 is the resistance at T0 = 0.0200 ohms
T is the temperature at which we want to get R = 0
Substitute in the equation to get R as follows:
R = 0.0200 [1+( ₋ 4.8 x ) (0-25.8)] = 0.02020 ohm
