Platinum is commonly used as a resistance thermometer since Platinum is relatively free from corrosive effects and has a high melting point. Suppose that at 20 oC the resistance of a Platinum wire is 164.2 Ω. When this wire is placed in a solution, the resistance of the wire becomes 187.4 Ω. What is the temperature of the solution? The temperature coefficient of resistivity of Platinum is α = 0.00393

Resistivity

Resistivity is a characteristic property of the conductor’s material that measures the extent to which the material opposes the flow of current. It is denoted by the Greek letter “rho”. Electrical resistivity, also known as specific resistance, depends on the nature of the material of the conductor and is unaffected by its dimensions.
