Resource summary

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