Question 23

An engineer is calibrating a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor designed for monitoring sub-zero arctic environments. They initially use a standard water bath to investigate how its electrical resistance changes over a temperature range from 5 ∘C5\,^{\circ}\text{C}5∘C to 60 ∘C60\,^{\circ}\text{C}60∘C.

State one modification the engineer must make to the liquid bath setup to investigate the resistance of the thermistor at temperatures down to −25 ∘C-25\,^{\circ}\text{C}−25∘C.
