The resistance of metal conductor increases with increases of temp because it is contain positive temp coefficient. But it we talk about the semiconductor case. Such as carbon decreases as the temp increase.

Thermistor is a kind transducer which converts thermal energy into electrical energy.

Thermistor is special type of resistor.
1. When temperature is increased resistance decrease.
2. When resistance is increase temperature is decrease.
1. When temperature is increased resistance decrease.
2. When resistance is increase temperature is decrease.

How to calculate the value of thermistor in airflow detector circuit?

Thermister can be of two types depending temperature coefficient, k.
If k is negative thermister is then called NTC or negative temp. Coefficient thermistor. And if, k is positive PTC thermistors.
If k is negative thermister is then called NTC or negative temp. Coefficient thermistor. And if, k is positive PTC thermistors.

Thermister are used to measure temperature. And this type of resistor used to calculate temperature.

Thermistor contain a variable resister. The resister value vary according to the variation on temperature.

Because thermister having thermal property and which the component very sensitive due to some radiation which is by using anti static room.
