R2=R1[1+(alpha)(t2-t1)]
Using the above equation, I need to find the maximum workable temperature (t2) of a circuit which contains a relay coil (whos resistance does not change with temp), and two different metal conductors.
I have found the resistance of the circuit at 20 degC using the two different temperature coefficients.
1. How do I fit the two different temperature coefficients into alpha in the equation?
2. and, as R1 contains two different resistances which will rise with temperature at different rates, how do I split them?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation.
edit: Has this got everyone as perplexed as I am?
