What is the relationship between the measured voltage and RTD resistance in a two-wire design?
What is the relationship between the measured voltage and RTD resistance in a two-wire design?
- Directly proportional
- Non-linear (correct)
- Exponential
- Linear
What is a key characteristic of thermistors?
What is a key characteristic of thermistors?
- Linear resistance change
- Resistance change with temperature (correct)
- Low accuracy
- High sensitivity
How are Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) thermistors different from Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistors?
How are Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) thermistors different from Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistors?
- PTC made from oxides of metals, NTC made from semiconductors. (correct)
- PTC resistance decreases with temperature, NTC resistance increases.
- PTC used in high-accuracy measurements, NTC in low-accuracy measurements.
- PTC forms a barrier to electricity flow, NTC becomes conductive.
