The desired temperature is set by using a rotary potentiometer having a resistance of 10 kΩ, with 100 turns. The potentiometer wiper can move from the position y = 0 to ymax = 180° which indicates temperature of 25 °C to 200 °C respectively. The potentiometer is excited with an input voltage of 5 V. (i) Determine the resolution of the potentiometer. (ii) Determine the voltage output of the potentiometer for the setting temperature of 100 °C.
