  • An n.t.c. thermistor and a resistor are connected as shown in the figure below.




    The temperature of the thermistor is increased. State and explain the change, if any, to the reading on the voltmeter


  • The variation with the fractional change in length of the fractional change in resistance for a strain gauge is shown in the graph below.




    The unstrained resistance of the gauge is . Calculate the new resistance of the gauge when it is extended to a strain of 0.020.
