Thermistors

• What happens to the resistance of a thermistor as the temperature increases?

  Resistance decreases
• Why does the resistance of a thermistor change with temperature?

  Because it is sensitive to temperature changes
• Where are thermistors commonly found?

  • In thermosets
  • In temperature sensors
  • In electronic devices
• What type of sensors are thermistors often associated with?

  Temperature sensors
• How do thermistors function in temperature measurement?

  They change resistance based on temperature
• What is the relationship between temperature and resistance in thermistors?

  Inverse relationship: temperature increases, resistance decreases
• What are the applications of thermistors?

  • Temperature measurement
  • Temperature compensation
  • Circuit protection
