While taking photographs in Death Valley on a day when the temperature is 62.0
Resistance at 20 deg c = Ro
Resistance at 62 deg c, R1 = Ro [ 1 + ? ?t ]
= Ro [ 1 + ? ( 62 - 20 ) ]
= Ro [ 1 + 42 ? ]
Resistance at - 88 deg c, R2 = Ro [ 1 + ? ( - 88 - 20 ) ]
= Ro [ 1 - 108 ? ]
According to ohms law, I ? ( 1 / R )
I2 / I1 = R1 / R2
I2 / I1 = ( 1 + 42 ? ) / ( 1 - 108 ? )
I2 / I1 = ( 1 + 42 * 0.0039 ) / ( 1 - 108 * 0.0039 )
I2 / I1 = 1.1638 / 0.5788
I2 = 1.3 * ( 1.1638 / 0.5788 )
= 2.61 A
