5.
Assume that you need to measure an average temperature in a heated space. You have three
identical temperature sensors. Each sensor produces a voltage proportional to temperature such that:
Sensor Voltage = .01 * Temperature in degrees Celsius
Assume that you bave three voltages, Va, V, and V, You want to take the average of these three voltages
lin order to compute the average temperature inside the heated space.
This circuit has been suggested as a possibility for computing the average.
