The resistance value of a ________ resistor is determined by the voltage across it. If you change the voltage across it, its resistance will change.	voltage-dependent
The abbreviation for "voltage-dependent resistor" is ___.	VDR
____ are nonlinear devices.	Diodes
To find the total voltage in a circuit that contains diodes connected in series, you must ___ the voltage values of the diodes.	add
To determine the amount of leakage current in a reverse-biased diode, measure the ________ across the series current-limiting resistor in the circuit.	voltage drop
If a voltage test indicates that a diode is defective, you should next measure the ________ and the ________ of the diode with an ohmmeter.	forward-resistance, reverse-resistance
