A battery of electromotive force (e.m.f.) and negligible internal resistance is connected to a fixed resistor of resistance
and a thermistor of resistance
, as shown.
Initially, the temperature of the thermistor is and the current in the circuit is
. The temperature of the thermistor then changes, which causes the current to increase to
. How does the temperature of the thermistor change and what is RT at the new temperature?
