I have to teach a group of non-technical people the difference between a 
thermistor and a thermocouple.  Although I have a pretty good 
understanding of the components of a thermocouple and how a thermocouple 
works, I know very little about thermistors, such as their components and 
how they work.  I would like to be able to explain to them the difference 
between these 2 types of thermometers.
