Hi there, first off I hope this is ok to post here. Quite a simple question.
I have done an experiment simply to work out the resistance of a thermistor at different temperatures, I did a prelim with a simple circuit of just ohm meter + thermistor. Then I did the main one with a potential divider circuit.
1. What is the advantage of using a potential divider circuit over a simple one to measure resistance of a thermistor? (Read above)
Thanks for any replies. I'm a bit unsure as to why it would be better. :-/
