Thermistor or Time dependent resistor (TDR)
The word thermistor is a contraction of the term thermal resistor. Thermistor is also known as temperature sensitive resistor or temperature dependent resistor (TDR). It is a type of resistor whose resistance is dependent on temperature. Thermistor
Application of Thermistor
Some of the important applications of thermistors are given below, Thermistor is used in the control devices actuated by temperature. It is used in automatic temperatures controllers. It is widely used in temperature measurement. In electronics circuits

The advantage of Schottky diode some of below It has a very low cut-in voltage of about 0.3 V. Schottky diode has very low switching time. Schottky diode has very low power consumption. it has a very
Photodiode
What is a Photodiode? The photodiode is a two terminal PN junction device which is operated in reverse bias. It has a small transparent window which allows light to strike the PN junction. The photodiode is a
Metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET)
The MOSFET stands for Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor. It has a three terminal source, gate and drain terminals just like JFET. The gate terminal in MOSFET is insulated from the channel therefore sometimes MOSFET is
Light Depending Resistor (LDR)
Light dependent resistor (LDR) is a kind of variable non-linear resistor whose value of resistance depends on the value of light incident on it. LDR is also called as photo resistor, photo conductors, photo conductive cells or
