11. A ________ is thermally sensitive resistor that exhibits a large change in resistance.
a) Thermistor
b) Resistance Thermometer
c) Thermo couple
d) Semiconductor based sensor
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: A thermistor is a thermally sensitive resistor that exhibits a large, predictable, and precise change in resistance correlated to variations in temperature.

12. ________ measures temperature by correlating the resistance of the RTD with temperature.
a) Thermistor
b) Resistance Thermometer
c) Thermo couple
d) Semiconductor based sensor
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: A Resistance Thermometer measures temperature by correlating the resistance of the RTD with temperature. An RTD consists of a film or, for greater accuracy, a wire wrapped around a ceramic or glass core.
