A student sets up the circuit in Fig. 9.1 to detect temperature changes over the range $0\,^{\circ}\text{C}$ to $100\,^{\circ}\text{C}$. The thermistor has resistance $R_{T}$ and the resistor has resistance $R$. The student measures the potential difference $V_{\text{OUT}}$. State and explain
(b(i))[3]
whether $V_{\text{OUT}}$ rises or falls as the thermistor temperature rises.
(b(ii))[2]
whether the change in $V_{\text{OUT}}$ varies linearly with the thermistor’s temperature change.
