Crop damage due to frost is one of the many risks confronting farmers. The figurebelow shows a simple alarm circuit designed to warn of frost. The alarm circuit usesa device called a thermistor to sound a buzzer when the temperature drops belowfreezing. Thermistors are semiconductor devices that exhibit a temperature dependentresistance described by the equationR R eT T = 01 10where R is the resistance, in , at the temperature T, in K, and R0 is the resistance,in , at the temperature T0, inK. is a constant that depends on the material used tomake the thermistor. The circuit is designed so that the alarm will sound whenRR RRR R2243 4 +
