A thermistor:
A)responds less rapidly to temperature changes than does a thermometer.
B)works on the same principle as a bimetallic strip.
C)relies on the change of electrical resistance of a metal with temperature.
D)is rarely found in the instruments of modern-day meteorologists.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A thermistor relies on the change of electrical resistance of a metal with temperature, unlike a bimetallic strip which works on the principle of differential expansion. It can respond very rapidly to temperature changes, making it a useful tool in temperature sensing applications. While it may not be commonly used in modern-day meteorology, it is still widely used in various other fields such as electronics and automotive engineering.
