3. THERMISTOR
 A temperature sensing element which measures temperature according
to change in resistance.
 It is usually made of a sintered semiconductor material.
 They can or cannot be self heated.
 They use ceramic or polymer materials while RTDs use pure metals.
 They are available in various shapes like disc, rod, washer, etc.
