What is sensors in a potential divider?
Show answer
If the sensor is the bottom resistor, the output rises as the sensor's resistance rises.
What is q1?
Show answer
An LDR is the top resistor of a potential divider. State whether the output voltage rises or falls as the surroundings get darker, and explain why. [2 marks]
What is q2?
