Q#10

The circuit shown in Figure Q#10 below is designed to help orange growers protect their
crops against frost by sounding an alarm when the temperature falls below freezing. It
contains a thermistor that has a resistance 𝑅0 = 620Ω at the temperature 𝑇0 = 200 𝐶 = 293𝐾
and 𝛽 = 3330𝐾.

𝛽 −
𝑅 𝑇 = 𝑅0 𝑒 𝑇 𝑇0

The alarm will sound when the voltage at the –ve input of the comparator is less than the
voltage at the +ve input. Using voltage division twice, we see that the alarm sounds
whenever :

<
𝑅𝑇 + 𝑅2 𝑅3 + 𝑅4

Determine the values of 𝑅2 , 𝑅3 , and 𝑅4 that cause the alarm sound whenever the
temperature is below freezing.
