what does a thermistor do
A thermistor is a type of resistor whose resistance is dependent on temperature, more so than in standard resistors.The word is a portmanteau of thermal and resistor.Thermistors are widely used as inrush current limiter, temperature sensors (NTC type typically), self-resetting overcurrent protectors, and self-regulating heating elements. thermistor is a type of resistor whose resistance is dependent on temperature, more so than in standard resistors.
