Sensistor
![Example of electronic circuit with the sensistor Rs](/Images/godic/202502/10/Sensistor_by_Zureks.svg5602.png")
Sensistor is a resistor whose resistance changes with temperature.
The resistance increases exponentially with temperature, that is the temperature coefficient is positive (e.g. 0.7% per degree Celsius).
Sensistors are used in electronic circuits for compensation of temperature influence or as sensors of temperature for other circuits.
