Show graphically how electric resistance of a piece of Silicon or Germanium varies when its temperature is varied.
The current I is measured through a sample of an ohmic material as a voltage V is applied. (a) What is the current when the voltage is doubled to 2V (assume the change in temperature of the material is negligible)? (b) What is the voltage applied is the current measured is 0.2I (assume the change in temperature of the material is negligible)? What will happen to the current if the material if the voltage remains constant, but the temperature of the material increases significantly?
For a circuit made with an iron-constantan thermocouple and a difference op amp with a gain of 1000, what is the expected change in the output voltage when the thermocouple changes temperature by 5 degrees Celsius?
