-
- It should be noted that the resistance of copper, platinum and silver wires
- doubles for approximately each 250-300 degree increase in temperature.
-
- A thin wire will measure quite low resistance with just the ohmmeter micro
- amp current compared to the resistance that might arise under operating
- conditions of high current density self-heating.
-
- Therefore, power input into the cell should be measured directly by a series
- current measurement and a parallel voltage reading taken directly at the points
- of wire entrance into the cell.
