To compute for the relationship between thermal resistivity and temperature, three essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Constant of the Metal (a), Constant of the Metal (ρo) and Temperature (T).

The formula for calculating relationship between thermal resistivity and temperature:

ρt = ρo + aT

Where:

ρo = Constant of the Metal
a = Constant of the Metal
T = Temperature

Let’s solve an example;

This implies that;

ρo = Constant of the Metal = 32
a = Constant of the Metal = 8
T = Temperature = 2

ρt = ρo + aT
ρt = 32 + (8)(2)
ρt = 32 + (16)
ρt = 48

Therefore, the relationship between thermal resistivity and temperature is 48 Ωm.

Calculating the Constant of the Metal when the Relationship between Thermal Resistivity and Temperature, the Constant of the Metal and the Temperature is Given.

ρo = ρt – aT

Where:

ρo = Constant of the Metal

a = Constant of the Metal
T = Temperature

Let’s solve an example;
Find the constant of the metal when the thermal resistivity is 32, the constant of the metal is 2 and the temperature is 4.

This implies that;

ρt = Thermal Resistivity = 32
a = Constant of the Metal = 2
T = Temperature = 4

ρo = ρt – aT
ρo = 32 – 2(4)
ρo = 32 – 8
ρo = 24

Therefore, the constant of the metal is 24.
