1. A sensor has a linear resistance change of 100 to 195 ohms, as temperature changes from 20^o – 120^oC. Find the I/O relationship.
2. Using the equation for modeling a 1^st order response, find the time it takes for a sensor to reach 90% of it final value given a final sensor output of 4.0V, an initial sensor output of 2.0V, and a time constant = 0.0025/s.
3. A 1000 ohm resistor is measured 10 times and the following readings were taken in the table below.
1. Find the mean and standard deviation of the measurements.

1. Assuming a normal distribution, there is a 99.7% probability that the true value of the resistance falls between what two values?
1. The following unbalanced Wheatstone Bridge is constructed. Calculate the output voltage across points C and D and the value of resistor R₄ required to balance the bridge circuit.

 

 

1. Refer to the op amp below (Fig. 2.26 in your text). If V_in = 0.5V, R₁ = 10k ohm, and R₂ = 25k ohm, calculate:

 

 

1. the output voltage, V_out,
2. the current in the 10k ohm resistor.
3. What would be the use or purpose of such a circuit? And how do your results demonstrate that?
