The thermistors are resistors whose resistance changes with the temperature. While for most of the metals the resistance increases with temperature, the thermistors respond negatively to the temperature and their resistance decreases with the increase in temperature. Since the resistance of thermistors is dependent on the temperature, they can be connected in the electrical circuit to measure the temperature of the body.

What is thermoresistive?
A thermistor is thermoresistive.
What type of material is a thermistor made of?
metal oxide
What does R T mean on a circuit board?
resistor-thermistor
Does the resistance go higher or lower when a thermistor gets hot?
the therminster will get hotter when the resistance is lowed
What kind of probe would you attach to a thermocouple or thermistor to measure the temperature inside an oven?
Air Probe.
What is the working priciple of the thermistor?
The working principle of a thermistor: when the temperature of the thermistor changes, its resistance will also change, so that the current will also be modified accordingly, so as to increase or decrease the temperature.

What kind of thermometer has a thermistor at its end?
A RV absorption refrigerator uses a thermistor as a thermostat. The thermistor is moved up or down to regulate the refrigerator temperature.
What is the difference between thermostat and thermistor?
one is called a thermostat and the other is called a thermistor - Ross Henderson
What is thermoresistive?
A thermistor is thermoresistive.
Is a oxygen sensor a thermistor sensor?
No
Is potentiometer and Thermistor are variable resistors. How please explain?
A: A potentiometer is a manual device to change the resistance A thermistor changes as a function of environment temperature
How do you tell if a faulty thermistor?
While some people use a much more exhaustive and precise testing procedure, a very simple test can uncover the most common problems with a thermistor: * measure the resistance of the thermistor at room temperature with an ohmmeter. If this resistance is 0 (short) or infinity (open), then something is connected incorrectly or the thermistor has been destroyed. (These are the most common problems). If that test looks good, then a followup test can uncover nearly all the remaining possible problems with a thermistor: * put icewater in a ziplock bag and press it against the thermistor. Then measure the resistance of the themistor at freezing. The two measured values of resistance are usually adequate to identify what kind of thermistor it is. If both values are practically the same, then it's not really a thermistor -- perhaps someone has accidentally substituted a resistor. If one or both values are not the expected values, perhaps someone has accidentally substituted a different kind of thermistor.
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.
What equipment is used in kidney dialysis?
NTC thermistor
Is thermistor an input device or output device?
Output
What type of material is thermistor made of?
metal oxide
Why is a thermistor used in a fridge?
