Q2.2 The resistance R( ) of a thermostat at temperature K is given by R( ) = exp(/ ). Given that the resistance at the ice point ( = 273.

3.15 K) is 9.00 k and the resistance at the steam point is 0.50 k, find the resistance at 25 C. Ans2.2 From the equation
R( ) = exp(/ ).

the resistance at the ice point ( = 273.15 K) is 9.00 k 9 k = exp(/273.15 ). the resistance at the steam point is 0.50 k 0.50 k = exp(/373.15 ). To find the resistance at 25 C we should be know the value of and

18 k = exp(/273.15 )/ exp(/373.15 ) Now we use an technical numerically to find the value of like the fixed point method . Then we will find = 2944.2 After that we use the value of in the one of the above equation to find the value of = 9 k / exp(2944.2/273.15 ) = 1.86 10^4 the resistance at 25 C. R(298.15k) = (1.86 10^4)* exp(2944.2/298.15 ) R(298.15k) = 3.62 k = R(25 C)
