Aerosol generating apparatus

An aerosol generating apparatus comprising:

• a power source;
• a load configured to have a resistance value that varies according to a temperature and generate an aerosol by atomizing an aerosol source or heating a flavor source when supplied with power from the power source;
• a sensor configured to include a resistor connected in series to the load and output a measurement value that is a current value of a current flowing through the resistance value or a voltage value of a voltage applied to the resistor;
• at least one adjustment resistor connected in series to the resistor for adjusting magnitude of a current supplied to the load;
• a feed circuit configured to electrically connect to the power source to the load and including a first power supply path for supplying power to the load not via the sensor and a second power supply path for supplying power to the load via the sensor;
• and
• circuitry configured to control power supply from the power source to the load and receive output from the sensor, wherein
• the circuitry is configured to selectively cause one of the first power supply patent and the second power supply path to function,
• a total resistance value of the resistor and the adjustment resistor satisfies a first condition that a quantity of the aerosol generated by the load during a feeding period for which the second power supply path is functioned is not larger than a threshold value, and
• the resistor has a resistance value that is set such that responsiveness of a change in the measurement value to a change in a temperature of the resistance value belongs to a prescribed range.
