Resistivity is inversely proportional to resistance in NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) semiconductors due to their temperature-dependent conduction properties. As temperature increases, the charge carriers in NTC materials become more mobile, leading to lower resistivity and, consequently, lower resistance. This relationship is critical for applications in temperature sensing and circuit protection. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding these properties in the context of thermistors and their conduction models. Overall, the inverse relationship plays a significant role in the functionality of NTC semiconductors.
