Type of resistor with electrical resistance inversely proportional to its temperature is invented by
A
SamuelRuben
B
George Ruben
C
George Morgan
D
Samuel Loughead
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -⟹ Resistance of the conductor is proportional to the length of wire and inversely proportional to the area of cross-section.

Detailed explanation-2: -Temperature: It is directly proportional to resistance. As the temperature increases, the value of resistivity increases so resistance increases.

Detailed explanation-3: -Conclusion. Thermistors are temperature-dependent resistors, changing resistance with changes in temperature. They are very sensitive and react to very small changes in temperature. They are best used when a specific temperature needs to be maintained, and when monitoring temperatures within 50°C of ambient.
