Thermistors and Copper Penny to show scale


A thermistor is a type of resistor with resistance proportional to its temperature. The word is a portmanteau of thermal and resistor. Thermistors are widely used as inrush current limiters, temperature sensors, self-resetting overcurrent protectors, and self-regulating heating elements.
