Comments:
1. The value of thermal coefficient in the experiment comes out to be 0.2223 Ω/°C by
using excel and 0.2 Ω/°C by analytical method.
2. The excel best line results gives more accurate results as compared to analytical best
line plotting method.
3. Further, it also gives an approximate linear relationship between temperature and
resistance of the TDR (temperature dependent resistor).
4. The answer of the question # 1 by using excel approach comes out to be 6.69 Ω.
