I'm trying to find the optimal, or at least a good resistor to put into a voltage divider to measure a thermistor, and a Electro Conductivityan electro-conductivity K10 probe. so theThe range is 10 uS/cm to 1 S/cm, and an operating tempaturetemperature of 0-70 CelciusCelsius.

So equations gave me a working resistance of ~80 ohms to 19M ohms. I'm thinking that given the range of resistance it might be diffucultdifficult to have a single resistor to compisatecompensate.

Also I'm using a 1k Thermistorthermistor, and was wondering if in that case a 1k would be the optimal resistor to pair with that as well?

I've played aroundaround; seems a 10k is more accurate in getting the value of the thermistor.

So if iI have known solutions, and a known probe the resistance should be in theory known. A K 10 probe and a .15 S solution should come out w/ 1.5 ohm?, or would it be ohm/cm?

wouldn't the voltage be the same across both resistors? even if one is huge?
