That depends on the type of thermistor

Some solid state thermistors are only able to run on one correct polarity and so are direct current.

Other thermistors designed as simple heat variable resistors can run on both direct current and alternating current.

When does a thermostor obey ohm's law?

I hope you mean the thermistor. If so,well it does not obey Ohms law. When current flows through the thermistor its temperature start increasing which reduces the resistance of the thermistor. A reduction in resistance at the same supply voltage will cause the current to increase. Thus it's not obeying Ohms law.

How is a thermistor used in a baby incubator?

A thermistor changes its resistance when the temperature changes. This means as the room temperature changes the current in the circuit containing the thermistor changes. This change in current is detected by the heater circuit, turning the heater on and off.
