Formula for Temperature Coefficient Calculator

The formula used by the Alpha Calculator to determine temperature coefficients (α) of NTC thermistors is crucial for optimizing efficiency in various systems:

α = − (β / T²) × 100

Here, T is converted to Kelvin by adding 273.15 to the Celsius input.

Formula Breakdown

  • Negative Sign (−): The negative sign indicates that resistance decreases as temperature rises, typical for NTC thermistors.
  • Fraction (β/T²): The β constant is divided by the square of the temperature in Kelvin, showing how resistance changes inversely with temperature.
  • Multiplication by 100: The result is multiplied by 100 to convert the value into a percentage, making it easier to interpret.

Key Points to Consider

The temperature coefficient (α) is usually expressed as a percentage per degree Celsius (%/°C). In NTC thermistors, the resistance decreases as the temperature rises, resulting in a negative α value. This negative alpha is crucial for accurate calculations using the Alpha Calculator and ensures reliable temperature readings.

The Temperature Coefficient Calculator has various applications across different industries:

  • Manufacturing: Maintaining temperature stability for product quality.
  • Research: Accurate data collection for temperature-related experiments.
  • Engineering: Optimizing circuit designs with precise temperature control.
