An RTD is used in the bridge circuit as shown in Figure 2. The bridge circuit comprises of R? = R? = R3 = 1500 and 15V supply voltage. At 50°C the RTD has ? = 0.008/°C and outputs resistance, R = 1100. The RTD has a dissipation constant of 30mW/°C and a current 12mA flowing through the sensor. If the RTD is placed in bath at 266°F, where it has the temperature change from 122°F to 266°F, Calculate the following. i. Resistance of the RTD considering no power dissipation. ii. Resistance of the RTD considering the power dissipation.
