1.

Which of the following has a negative temperature coefficient of resistance?(a) capacitor(b) diode(c) thermistor(d) sensistorThis question was posed to me in an interview for job.My query is from Bias Compensation topic in division Transistor Biasing and Thermal Stabilization of Electronic Devices & Circuits

Answer»

The correct answer is (d) SENSISTOR

Explanation: The sensistor has a positive temperature coefficient of RESISTANCE. It is a temperature SENSITIVE RESISTOR. It is a heavily doped semiconductor. When voltage is decreased, the net forward EMITTER voltage decreases. As a result the collector current decreases.
