Experimental verification of the temperature coefficient of resistivity

Physics Education 2023-04-12 v1

Abstract

We have created an experimental procedure for determining the temperature coefficient of resistivity, αR\alpha_R, for introductory physics laboratories. This method examines the relationship between temperature and resistivity to establish αR\alpha_R within 10% of the accepted value.
