Output Devices problem 4


A circuit incorporating an ideal operational amplifier (op-amp) is shown in the figure below.




The variation with temperature of the resistance of the thermistor is shown in the graph below.




  • The output potential of the op-amp circuit changes sign when the temperature of the thermistor is . Calculate the resistance .


  • State and explain whether the output potential is or for a thermistor temperature of .


  • The output of the op-amp is to be displayed using two light-emitting diodes (LEDs) labelled G and B. When the temperature of the thermistor is below , only the LED labelled G emits light. The LED labelled B emits light only when the temperature of the thermistor is above . On the figure above, draw and label the symbols for the two LEDs.
