A platinum resistance thermometer reads ...

A platinum resistance thermometer reads `0^@` when its resistance is `80 Omega` and `100^@` when its resistance is `90 Omega`. Find the temperature at the platinum scale at which the resistance is `86 Omega`.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to use the relationship between the resistance of the platinum thermometer and the temperature. The formula we will use is: \[ T = \frac{R - R_0}{R_{100} - R_0} \times 100 \] Where: - \(T\) is the temperature we want to find, ...
