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.
