Prepare graphs of the divider voltage versus transducer resistance for Problem 3. Does the voltage vary linearly with resistance? Does the voltage increase or decrease with resistance?
Problem
A sensor resistance varies from 520 to 5200 Ω. This is used for in the divider of Figure 4, along with
R2 = 500 Ω and Vs = 10.0 V
Find (a) the range of the divider voltage, VD, and (b) the range of power dissipation by the sensor.
