10. A thermal fuse is device found in such common items as coffee makers. Normally, its resistance is very low, ideally 0 \(\Omega\). With the application of excessive heat, the fuse opens, presenting a very high resistance, ideally infinite. Explain the operation of the circuit in Figure \(\PageIndex{6}\). Is the output voltage normally high or low?

11. A strain gauge is a device that can be used to measure the amount of bend or deflection in a part that it is attached to. It can be connected so that its resistance rises as the bend increases. What resistance is required to trip the comparator of Figure \(\PageIndex{7}\)?
