  2. Thermistor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermistor

    The typical operating temperature range of a thermistor is −55 °C to +150 °C, though some glass-body thermistors have a maximal operating temperature of +300 °C. Thermistors differ from resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) in that the material used in a thermistor is generally a ceramic or polymer, while RTDs use pure metals. The ...

    is the temperature (in kelvins), R {\displaystyle R} is the resistance at T {\displaystyle T} (in ohms), A {\displaystyle A} , B {\displaystyle B} , and C {\displaystyle C} are the Steinhart–Hart coefficients , which are characteristics specific to the bulk semiconductor material over a given temperature range of interest.

    is the temperature gradient (K·m −1) across the sample, A {\displaystyle A} is the cross-sectional area (m 2 ) perpendicular to the path of heat flow through the sample, Δ T {\displaystyle \Delta T} is the temperature difference ( K ) across the sample,

  5. Electrical resistance and conductance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistance_and...

    Also called chordal or DC resistance This corresponds to the usual definition of resistance; the voltage divided by the current R s t a t i c = V I. {\displaystyle R_{\mathrm {static} }={V \over I}.} It is the slope of the line (chord) from the origin through the point on the curve. Static resistance determines the power dissipation in an electrical component. Points on the current–voltage ...

  6. List of temperature sensors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_temperature_sensors

    The integrated circuit sensor may come in a variety of interfaces — analogue or digital; for digital, these could be Serial Peripheral Interface, SMBus/I 2 C or 1-Wire.. In OpenBSD, many of the I 2 C temperature sensors from the below list have been supported and are accessible through the generalised hardware sensors framework [3] since OpenBSD 3.9 (2006), [4] [5]: §6.1 which has also ...

    The melting temperature of these alloys are 1350 °C and 1390 °C, respectively. [11] [full citation needed] Since their introduction in the 1960s, foil resistors have had the best precision and stability of any resistor available. One of the important parameters of stability is the temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR).

  8. Temperature coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_coefficient

    Residual magnetic flux density or B r changes with temperature and it is one of the important characteristics of magnet performance. Some applications, such as inertial gyroscopes and traveling-wave tubes (TWTs), need to have constant field over a wide temperature range. The reversible temperature coefficient (RTC) of B r is defined as:

  9. Self-regulating heater - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-regulating_heater

    A positive-temperature-coefficient heating element (PTC heating element), or self-regulating heater, is an electrical resistance heater whose resistance increases significantly with temperature. The name self-regulating heater comes from the tendency of such heating elements to maintain a constant temperature when supplied by a given voltage.
