    Consider the following statements A and B and identify the correct answer:
    A: Thermistors can have only negative temperature coefficients of resistance.
    B: Thermistors with negative temperature coefficients of resistance are used as resistance thermometers, to measure low temperature of the order of 10 K.

    A)  Both A and B are true

    B)  Both A and B are false

    C)  A is true, but B is false

    D)  A is false, but B is true

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     A thermistor is a heat sensitive resistor usually made  of semiconductor  material.  The temperature coefficient of a thermistor is negative but is unusually large, of the order of\[-0-04{{({{\,}^{o}}C)}^{-1}}\] They are used for resistance thermometers in very low temperature measurement of the order of 10 K.
