Question:

The resistance of a thermistor at °C is 2000 Ω. At 100 °C the resistance falls to 200 Ω. When the thermistor is placed in water of constant temperature, its resistance is 620 Ω.
a. Assuming that the resistance of the thermistor varies linearly with temperature, calculate the temperature of the water.
b. The temperature of the water on the thermodynamic scale is 280 K.
By reference to the particular features of the thermodynamic scale of temperature, comment on your answer to part a.
