Thermistor

A thermistor is a type of sensor that detects temperature changes by changing its electrical resistance. Made from special materials, its resistance decreases as temperature rises (NTC thermistor) or increases (PTC thermistor). This property allows it to convert temperature variations into electrical signals that electronic devices can interpret and respond to. Thermistors are commonly used in household appliances, automotive systems, and medical devices for accurate and rapid temperature measurement and control. They are valued for their sensitivity, durability, and cost-effectiveness in monitoring temperature in various applications.
