Resource summary
Resistors
Calculated using OHM'S Law
Potential difference across a component is directly proportional to the current through it
V = I x R
V=p.d (v) I=current (a) R=resistance (ohms)
Thermistor
Where the resistance changes with temperature
Low temp --> high resistance High temp --> low resistance
At a particular temperature, a thermistor is an ohmic resistor
used to: act as a thermometer, control circuits activated by temperature
LDR
A light dependent resistor
A resistor whos resistance changes at differnt light levels
