We can consider R₁ to be the resistance of wires leading to R₂ and R₃.

(a) Find the total resistance.

(b) What isthe IR drop in R₁?

(d) What power is dissipated by R₂?

Question 5: A negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor has a resistance that depends on temperature i.e., R =f(T). The higher the temperature, the lower the resistance. The transfer function shown allows us to map resistance to temperature and vice versa.
A thermistor is placed into the circuit below. This circuit is called a voltage divider - it does just that, divides the input voltage up depending on the values of the two resistances in the divider.

A voltage of 7.5 V is measured over the 10 k? resistor. Use Ohms law to determine the current through this resistor.

Determine the current running through the thermistor. Give your reasoning.

Using the principal that the supply voltage has been divided across thermistor and the fixed 10 k? resistor, what is the voltage drop over the thermistor?

Now knowing the voltage and current for the thermistor, calculate its resistance and use the transfer function to determine the temperature.
