Thermistor
A Wheatstone bridge has a Thermistor temperature sensor with a resistance of 15kOmega at 35deg C in one arm of the Wheatstone bridge. At this temperature the bridge is balanced with each of the other arms being 15kOmega . The supply voltage to the bridge is 12V. Thermistors have a non-linear resistance-temperature characteristic described by the exponential equation 2.1 and eta =4615 Kelvin.
R_(T)=R_(0)e^(eta ((T_(0)-T)/(T_(0)T)))
