Thermistor Definition and 57 Threads

Thermistors---THERMally sensitive resISTOR are used to make temperature sensitive devices useful in temperature control circuits. This high sensitivity to temperature changes makes the thermistor extremely useful for precision temperature measurements, control and compensation. My question is...

Howdy, I'm want to make a sensor dealing with thermistors, and i just don't know where to begin...Can someone please help me get started? The project can be anything...but I am leaning towards measuring the temperatures vs time. using thermistors. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am currently studying a coursewok set on sensors. If anyone knows the method and circuit for an NTC thermistor experiment or any information on the thermistors at all it would be greatly appriciated.

Bit of a strange one this: Can anyone think of any real life applications where having a non linear thermistor (like one that didnt change a set amount of resistance for the same temperature change) would cause any problems?

For the "build your own sensor" part of my AS work I am using a thermistor in a potential divider in order to measure the melting point of a chemical. My teacher has OKed this but says that i need to calibrate the sensor in, for example, melting ice. I am not sure exactly what this involves...

Hi please help I have to do a piece of coursework on sensors. I am testing a thermistor and my teacher mentioned something about calibration but I don't know what it is can someone help please. I have taken results for the resistances for every ten degrees from 0 to 150
