What is a Thermistor

What is a Thermistor?
-A Thermistor is simply a resistor that is sensitive to temperature change
-As the temperature changes, the resistance changes
-Two different styles
-NTC (negative temperature coefficient)
-As temp. increases, resistance will drop
-PTC (positive temperature coefficient)
-As temp. increases, the resistance will also increase
-NTC Thermistors are more commonly used for temperature measurement
Thermistor advantages and disadvantages
-Advantages
-Less expensive
-Can measure change in temperature much faster
-Provide higher resolution (better accuracy) within the range they can measure
-Disadvantages
-Limited temperature range in which the measure
-Max is 350 Celsius
-Resistance to Temperature correlation is non-linear
-Can "self heat" causing inaccurate temperature readings

I was looking after more detail, such as how it actually works inside.

5K or 10 K or 2.25K ohm thermistor which is better sir ?

[@RSPSupply]

Response: Thank you for your question! The choice between 5K, 10K, or 2.25K ohm thermistors depends on the specific application and the temperature range you need to measure.
- 5K thermistors are commonly used for temperature sensing in a moderate temperature range.
- 10K thermistors are also popular and offer a wider temperature range compared to 5K thermistors.
- 2.25K ohm thermistors are less common but may be suitable for specialized applications requiring precise temperature measurements within a specific range.
Consider factors such as the temperature range you need to measure, the accuracy required, and the compatibility with your monitoring or control system when choosing the appropriate thermistor for your application. If you need further assistance in selecting the right thermistor for your specific needs, feel free to reach out to us for personalized guidance.

bruhh, next time try not to use big words. remember viewers could also be students. also try to illustrate so we get a better understanding.

Sorry, if you are considering thermistors you should know those words
