Assume that the carbon resistor has a resistance of 500Ω at T0=0°C and the temperature coefficient of resistance for carbon is α=−0.0048Ω/°C . Then, according to the following formula:
R(T)=R(T0)(1−α(T−T0))
the resistance at T=50°C will be:
R(50°C)=500Ω(1−−0.0048Ω/°C(50°C−0°C))=380Ω .
Answer. 380 Ohms.
