Resistance Probes in the Science Laboratory Part I. The Thermistor Thermometer.

Peer reviewed

Powers, Michael H. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1987

Describes the functioning of temperature transducers, or thermistors. Discusses the interface connections between thermistors and the game-port of several kinds of microcomputers. Demonstrates how to construct a thermistor probe and suggests several applications of the use of such probes in various scientific experiments. (TW)
