I am currently studying a coursewok set on sensors. If anyone knows the method and circuit for an NTC thermistor experiment or any information on the thermistors at all it would be greatly appriciated.

Hey thank you very much for that! Does anyone know much about potential divider circuits for thermistors? I can't seem to get my head around it. Any useful equations I should look out for? Thanks very much everyone!
 
Hey Noj,
There have been a few posts recently on Physics Forums in regards to https://www.physicsforums.com/search.php?searchid=130798
and https://www.physicsforums.com/search.php?searchid=130799
some of the posts are the same, but it's really worth having a look, see if you can get any ideas.

Also, if you look at the links at the top of this page, they're ads, but worth having a look at too

Hope the result-taking is going well
:biggrin:

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
