Yes, NTC stands for Negative temperature coefficient. This means the resistance goes down as temperature goes up. A PTC has a positive temperature change. As temp goes up, the resistance will increase also.
A negative temperature coefficient (NTC) refers to a type of thermistor where the resistance decreases as the temperature increases. This means that as the temperature rises, the electrical resistance of the NTC thermistor decreases, allowing more current to flow through it. NTC thermistors are commonly used in temperature sensing and compensation applications.
The resistance of a thermistor changes when its temperature changes due to the inherent properties of the thermistor material. In a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor, the resistance decreases as the temperature increases, whereas in a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) thermistor, the resistance increases as the temperature rises. This change in resistance is caused by the variation in the number of charge carriers (electrons or holes) and their mobility within the material as temperature changes.
A NTC thermistor is a temperature sensor that has a "negative temperature coefficient". That means as temperature goes up, the resistance of the device goes down over it's operating range.
In NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) resistors, as the temperature increases, the number of charge carriers also increases. This results in more electron movement, decreasing the resistance. The relationship between temperature and resistance in NTC resistors is inversely proportional.
NTC thermistor
According to the different coefficient of resistance change, thermistors are divided into two types: positive temperature coefficient thermistor (PTC), whose resistance value increases with increasing temperature, and negative temperature coefficient thermistor Resistance (NTC), whose resistance value decreases with increasing temperature.

• ntc 'negative temperature coefficient': its resistance decreases as the temperature increases• ptc 'positive temperature coefficient': its resistance increases as the temperature increases
NTC thermistors are metal oxide which has energap gap of the oder 0.5eV
That depends on which units we are using. They are models that cover a variety of ranges.
NTC (Negative Temperature Coefficient) thermistors have resistance that decreases with increasing temperature, while PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) thermistors have resistance that increases with increasing temperature. NTC thermistors are commonly used for temperature sensing and control applications, while PTC thermistors are used for overcurrent protection and self-regulating heating elements.
positive temperature coefficient vs. negative temperature coefficient resistance increases or decreases with increase of temperature, respectively.
