Chapter 18 Problem 25

Question

*25. (Ill) For some applications, it is important that the value of a resistance not change with temperature. For example, suppose you made a 4.70-kO resistor from a carbon resistor and a Nichrome wire-wound resistor connected together so the total resistance is the sum of their separate resistances. What value should each of these resistors have (at 0C) so that the combination is temperature independent?

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 18 problem number 25 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: *25. (Ill) For some applications, it is important that the value of a resistance not change with temperature. For example, suppose you made a 4.70-kO resistor from a carbon resistor and a Nichrome wire-wound resistor connected together so the total resistance is the sum of their separate resistances. What value should each of these resistors have (at 0C) so that the combination is temperature independent?
From the textbook chapter Electric Currents you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
