Which transistor is used for high speed power application?
In transistor the heat is created during transition stage means from cutoff to saturation and reverse, so if transistor used for high frequency application power loss can be minimized. The heat produced during switching is actually power loss.

What does a Thermistor do in a circuit?
A thermistor is a type of resistor specifically designed to have a predictable change in resistance depending on the temperature surrounding it. All resistors and, in fact the resistance of all components are succeptable to changes in temperature. The thermistor however, is specifically designed to exploit this in order to be able to measure temperature. They are commonly found in all sorts of temperature sensing circuits, from your digital thermostat in your house to your digital meat thermometer.
