Thermistors differ from resistance temperature detectors (RTD) in that the material used in a thermistor is generally a ceramic or polymer, while RTDs use pure metals. The temperature response is also different; RTDs are useful over larger temperature ranges, while thermistors typically achieve a higher precision within a limited temperature range. Thermistors are also more subject to self-heating effects that resistance thermometers [[User:Spuzzdawg|Spuzzdawg]] ([[User talk:Spuzzdawg|talk]]) 20:45, 25 February 2009 (UTC) |

The reference to "alpha" in the "Temperature to resistance equation" section does not connect. Where is alpha? [[User:Torsionalmetric|Torsionalmetric]] ([[User talk:Torsionalmetric|talk]]) 13:50, 10 July 2008 (UTC) |
