Question
Constantan wire is used for making standard resistance, because it has:
✓
Answer
- Negligible temperature coefficient of resistance.
Constantan is a copper-nickel alloy. Its main feature is its resistivity, which is constant over a wide range of temperatures. Thus it has low temperature coefficient of resistance.that's why it is used for making of standard resistances.
