Which of the following components exhibits a temperature dependent resistance?
resistor
thermistor
diode
|
As the temperature of a thermistor increases, its resistance will:
increase
remain the same
decrease
fluctuate randomly
|
In an NTC thermistor, NTC stands for:
nuclear time constant
neutron tunneling conductor
negative temperature coefficient
non-thermal conductor
|
An LDR exhibits a resistance that varies with:
current
voltage
magnetic field strength
light intensity
|
As light intensity on an LDR increases, its resistance will:
remain unchanged
decrease
fluctuate randomly
increase
|
Increased light intensity on an LDR leads to:
random charge carrier fluctuations
more charge carriers
no change in charge carriers
fewer charge carriers
|
Adding energy to a semiconductor:
increases conductivity
has no effect on conductivity
causes random conductivity fluctuations
reduces conductivity
|
What is the name for components with temperature dependent resistance used in sensing circuits?
|
Give 2 effects of increased light intensity on an LDR.
