Best answer
Correct Answer - Option 4 : Thermistor
  • Thermistor has a very high-temperature coefficient of resistance compared to the transistor, varistor, thyristor.
  • The thermistor is a resistance thermometer i.e. its resistance depends on the temperature.

Note:

Temperature coefficient of resistance of electronic devices is measured as the change in electrical resistance per degree of temperature change

Rt = R0 (1 ± αt)

Where,

Rt = Resistance at temp t°C

R0 = Resistance at 0°C temp

α = temperature constant.
