The temperature change in the syringe is measured with a low temperature thermistor. The response time on the thermistor is around half a second. Why is it not possible to measure the temperature instantaneously?

Question

Accepted Answer

Because the temperature sensor needs to come into thermal equilibrium with the air inside the syringe.

Answer

Because the temperature sensor needs to come into thermal equilibrium with the air outside the syringe.

Answer

Because the temperature sensor is not very sensitive, so we need to gather data for a long time.

Answer

Because the temperature sensor needs to take the average temperature over a long period of time.
