Numerical solutions of the thermistor problem with a ramp electrical conductivity

This paper presents approximate steady-state solutions of a positive temperature coefficient thermistor problem, having a ramp electrical conductivity that is a highly non-linear function of the temperature, using a standard explicit finite difference method. It is shown that numerical solutions exhibit the correct physical characteristics of the problem and, they are in good agreement with the exact solution.
