Resistance and Resistivity
 

Resistance and Resistivity problem 36


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?
