Can A Thermistor Be Used As A Thermometer? Aim A thermistor is a type of resistor that changes according to its temperature, using this information we are going to try and find out whether a thermistor can be used as a thermometer. We believe this will happen as the resistance of a thermistor changes depending on its temperature. Method The variable we will be changing is the water temperature this will change the temperature of the thermistor which in turn will change the amount of resistance the thermistor presents.And all other variables, such as amount of batteries, will be kept the same. Our method, based on our research, is as follows: 1. Set up the equipment as shown in the below diagram; 2. We will heat the water to 100?Celsius 3. Take the Voltmeter reading 4. Take the Ammeter reading 5. Then we will divide the Voltmeter reading by the Ammeter reading and this shall give us the resistance. 6....
