The video tutorial explains the design and function of temperature sensors, focusing on the relationship between electricity, resistance, and temperature. It covers how different materials exhibit varying resistance levels and how temperature changes affect this resistance. Ohm's law is introduced to explain how voltage changes can indicate temperature changes. The use of platinum for its linear resistance-temperature gradient is discussed, along with different sensor designs.
