➢ THEORY:
The apparatus comprises a thermistor, which is a type of thermal
resistor. It operates in a comparable manner to resistance
thermometers, but instead of using a metal, it employs a
semiconductor material as an electrical resistor.
Materials:
Temperature Measurement and Calibration Apparatus (TD400).
The parts of this device are:
• Heater tank with drain tap.
• Icebox.
➢ Sample of calculations:
R = E \ I = (280.4*10^-3) \ (1*10^-3) = 280.4 Ω

➢ Discussion:
In this experiment, we investigated the temperature-dependent behavior of NTC
thermistors. NTC thermistors are temperature-sensitive resistors that exhibit a
decrease in resistance as temperature increases.
The data obtained from the experiment allowed us to plot a resistance-
temperature curve for the NTC thermistor. We observed that the resistance of
the thermistor decreased as the temperature increased, and this relationship
could be accurately described by the resistance-temperature curve. And during
the experiment, it was found that the device's highest error rate was 177.8%,
which is a very high error, indicating that the device has low accuracy. Several
factors could potentially cause errors in an NTC thermistor experiment, and some
of these factors include:
• Calibration error: NTC thermistors can have some degree of manufacturing
variation, which can affect their resistance-temperature relationship. To
account for this, it is essential to calibrate the thermistor before the
experiment. If the calibration is incorrect, the resulting resistance-
temperature curve will be inaccurate.
• Time lag: NTC thermistors can have a slow response time, which means
that them resistance may not change immediately when the temperature
changes.
