(n) a semiconductor device made of materials whose resistance varies as a function of temperature; can be used to compensate for temperature variation in other components of a circuit

Is a semiconducting material used to measure temperature changes, relying on the principle that the resistance of a semiconductor decreases as the temperature increases. Thermistors are usually a thin coil of a semiconducting material. They work because raising the temperature of a semiconductor increases the number of electrons able to move about [..]
