Thermal Equilibrium and Temperature Scales problem 15


The electrical resistance of a thermistor is to be used to measure temperatures in the range to . The figure below shows the variation with temperature, measured in degrees Celsius, of the resistance of the thermistor.




  • State and explain the feature of the figure above which shows that the thermometer has a sensitivity that varies with temperature.


  • At one particular temperature, the resistance of the thermistor is . Determine this temperature, in kelvin, to an appropriate number of decimal places.
