    1. A platinum resistance thermometer has a resistance R0 = 50.0 Ω at T0=20 ºC. α for Pt is 3.92×10-3 (/ºC). The
    thermometer is immersed in a vessel containing melting tin, at which point R increases to 91.6Ω. What is the
    melting point of tin?

    Given :

    R0 = 50.0 Ω ; T0 = 200C

    α = 3.92×10-3 /ºC

    Rt = 91.6 Ω

    Required:

    Tt = _________ 0 C

    Solution:

    Rt =R0 [ 1+ α (T t −T 0) ]

    91.6 Ω=50.0 Ω [ 1+(3.92× 10−3 /ºC)(T t −20 0 C ) ]

    91.6 Ω
    =1+(3.92 ×10−3 /ºC)(T t −2 00 C)

    2. A platinum resistance thermometer uses the change in R to measure temperature. Suppose R0 = 50 Ω at T0=20
    ºC. α for Pt is 3.92×10-3 /ºC in this temperature range. What is R when T = 50.0 ºC
    Given:

    R0 = 50 Ω ; T0=20 ºC

    α = 3.92×10-3 /ºC

    Tt = 50.0 ºC

    Required:

    Rt = ______ Ω

    Solution:

    Rt =R0 [ 1+ α (T t −T 0) ]

    Rt =50 [ 1+(3.92 ×1 0−3 )(50−20) ]

    Rt =50 [ 1+(3.92 ×1 0−3 )(30) ]

    Rt =5 5.88 Ω
