24 Sample Problem A thermistor with the curve C characteristic is to be used in an autoclave sterilizer that sterilizes at a temperature of 120 C. When the autoclave is not operating, the thermistor resistance is 2,000 Ω at room temperature of 25 C. What is its resistance at the autoclave s operating temperature?
