04 Temperature Resistance Effects Part 2 PDF

The document provides 6 sample problems related to calculating resistance values of various materials like aluminum wires, copper wires, and coils at different temperatures. It seeks to determine resistance values when temperatures increase or decrease from a given value, as well as calculating temperature coefficients of resistance using resistance measurements at two different temperatures. The problems involve common materials used in electrical applications and real world scenarios of replacing wires with different materials while keeping resistance the same.
