Investigating a Thermistor.

... INVESTIGATING A THERMISTOR After deciding to investigate the properties of a thermistor, I chose to be more specific, and to look at repeatability, accuracy, and sensitivity. I also thought of many different ideas as to what the experiment could be used for: for fridge...??? controlled???. The proceeded by looking at different circuits suitable for exploring sensitivity. I looked into the 'whetstone bridge' circuit: The wheatstone bridge circuit enables more accurate readings, However, I decided on another circuit that acted as a potential divider only using one fixed resistor, which seemed equally suitable for detecting small changes of volts. The reason for this being that I thought it would be interesting to see the effect(s) of changing the fixed resistor (R): After recognizing the importance of (R), I decided on the equipment I was going to use, and then tried using some algebra to tackle the problem of finding the value of R
