Thermistor
This is a special resistor that is used in electrical circuit. The word means that it is thermal resistor. Its resistance value changes with the change in the temperature value. Most of the thermistors have the negative temperature coefficient which means its resistance will fall down when the temperature value increases. The temperature coefficient may be positive as well. It is constructed by the use of various metals such as nickel, cobalt, copper etc. Also it can be prepared from the semiconductor devices as well. We can obtain a resistance upto a few mega ohms value. They are used to detect the small temperature changes, when there is a temperature change, however small, there will be a large change in the value of the resistance. Also they are used for voltage stabilization and remote sensing.
A thermistor is a device whose electrical resistance is controlled by temperature. Thermistors are available in two types: NTC thermistors, or negative thermal coefficient thermistors, and PTC thermistors, or positive thermal coefficient thermistors. In NTC thermistors, the resistance decreases proportionally with increases in temperature. PTC thermistors, on the other hand, have increasing resistance with increasing temperature.
