Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A MEMS thermal sensor measures the resistance of a thermistor at varying temperatures. At 25°C, the resistance is 10 kΩ, and at 75°C, the resistance drops to 2 kΩ. Calculate the temperature coefficient of resistance.

💡 Hint: Remember to convert temperature from Celsius to Kelvin if needed.

Challenge 2 Hard

Discuss how thermal sensors can be implemented in smart homes for optimizing HVAC systems.

💡 Hint: Think about the role of temperature control in smart technology.
