Answer:
the thermistor temperature =
Explanation:
Given that:
A thermistor is placed in a 100 °C environment and its resistance measured as 20,000 Ω.
i.e Temperature
Resistance of the thermistor
20,000 ohms
Material constant
= 3650
Resistance of the thermistor
= 500 ohms
Using the equation :
Taking log of both sides
Replacing our values into the above equation :
Thus, the thermistor temperature =
