How does the digital thermometer measure temperature ?

Solution

Digital thermometers contain a small computing mechanism and a resistor. A change in temperature causes the sensor to notice a change in resistance. The computer converts the difference in resistance into a difference in temperature and offers a digital readout in degrees. The thermoresistor sensor is called a thermistor.
