A thermistor is used in a circuit that switches a heater off when a room gets warm. What happens in the circuit as the room warms up?

[1]
A

The resistance of the thermistor rises, so the current in the circuit falls

B

The resistance of the thermistor falls, so the current in the circuit rises

C

The resistance of the thermistor falls, so the current in the circuit falls

D

The resistance of the thermistor rises, so the current in the circuit rises
