50 minute test. Ten multiple choice questions. One 8.5x11” note sheet permitted (both sides). No
laptop computers. Unless otherwise indicated, you must show sufficient reasoning, equations, and steps
to justify your answer. Circle the correct answer, I intended for the correct answer to be one of the
choices, but if not, then choose “other” (if provided) and write in your answer, Do not unstaple. Seating
assignments. No partial credit. If you finish more than 10 minutes early, quietly turn in your test. Else,
wait until the end of class to avoid disturbing others.
Problem 1. A thermistor (10k @ 25°C), whose resistance variation is shown in the table below, is
attached to a heat sink. When the resistance of the thermistor is 6k, what is its temperature (pick a
range or enter your own calculated value)? Use linear interpolation between table values.

Problem 5. A MOSFET will operate with 4W of loss in a room having ambient temperature 40°C, The
temperature of the MOSFET is to be kept below 80°C. Your task is to choose the smallest (in physical
size) heat sink from the selections shown below that meets or exceeds this objective, Assume that a heat
sink’s physical size is inversely proportional to its thermal coefficient (i.., larger heat sinks have
smaller thermal coefficients).
