Given V_1 = 10 V, R_1 = 100 Ω, R_2 = 100 \ Ω, and R_3 = 100 Ω, the RTD will vary from 100 Ω at 0°C to 138.5 Ω at 100°C. Ignore the resistance of the cabling. Using Fig. 23-5, solve for V_{AB} at 20°C, where the RTD = 107.79 Ω, and at 100°C, where the RTD = 138.5 Ω.

Temperature = 20°C Temperature = 100°C
V_{AB} = V_A − V_B V_{AB} = V_A − V_B
V_{AB}=V_1\left(\frac{RTD}{R_1+RTD}\right)  -V_1\left(\frac{R_3}{R_2+R_3} \right) V_{AB}=V_1\left(\frac{RTD}{R_1+RTD}\right)  -V_1\left(\frac{R_3}{R_2+R_3} \right)
R_2 = R_3 ∴ R_2 = R_3 ∴
V_{AB}=V_1\left(\frac{RTD}{R_1+RTD}\right)  -V_1\left(\frac{1}{2} \right) V_{AB}=V_1\left(\frac{RTD}{R_1+RTD}\right)  -V_1\left(\frac{1}{2} \right)
V_{AB}=10 \ V\left(\frac{107.79 \ Ω}{100 \ Ω + 107.79 \ Ω} \right)-10 \ V \left(\frac{1}{2} \right) V_{AB}=10 \ V\left(\frac{138.5 \ Ω}{100 \ Ω + 138.5 \ Ω} \right)-10 \ V \left(\frac{1}{2} \right)
V_{AB} = 187.45 mV V_{AB} = 807.13 mV
