Which of the following is NOT the salient feature of thermistors? Correct Answer Thermistors are smooth.

Thermistors are generally made up of semiconductor materials.

Thermistors have a negative temperature coefficient of resistance i.e. the resistance decreases with an increase in the temperature.

Thermistors can measure the temperature in the range of -100°C to 300°C.

The basic circuit used for this purpose is shown below:

Advantages of thermistor:

  • It is rugged and compact.
  • It is inexpensive.
  • It has good stability.
  • It requires relatively simple and smooth circuitry.
  • The response time of a thermistor can vary from a fraction of a second to minutes, depending on the size of the detecting mass and capacity of the thermistor.
