Thermistor hysteresis

A1  ?? By averaging the equation for temperature, obtain the equation that relates $V_0$, $T_1$, and the other variables of the problem.

A2  ?? Calculate the activation energy $E_g$. Express your answer in electronvolts ($1~eV=1.60\cdot10^{-19}~J$). Boltzmann constatn is equal to $k_B=1.38\cdot10^{-23}~J/K$.

A3  ?? Calculate $R_0$ and $\kappa$.

B1  ?? Find expressions for $T_2$ and $\phi$.

H1 You will only need to consider terms with $\cos(2\omega t)$ or $\sin(2\omega t)$
H2 If you have a linear trigonometric equation, it is more convenient to rewrite it in complex notation
B2  ?? Calculate thermistor's heat capacity $C$.

H1 Some of hysteresis loop's parameters are more sensitive to temperature change than others
H2 Try to analyse at which point the hysteresis loop will be the widest
