Question 51
Easy

A student investigates how the resistance of a thermistor varies with temperature. Figure 1 shows a graph of the results of this investigation.

Figure 1: A graph showing resistance of a thermistor in kΩ against temperature in °C. The y-axis is labeled 'Resistance (kΩ)' and ranges from 0 to 12. The x-axis is labeled 'Temperature (°C)' and ranges from 10 to 90. The curve starts at 10 °C with a resistance of 10 kΩ, decreases steeply to 4 kΩ at 40 °C, and then decreases more slowly, reaching 1.5 kΩ at 90 °C.

Describe how the resistance of this thermistor varies with temperature.
