Q

What is a thermistor

A

A thermistor is a deceive whose resistance varies with temperature is is a temperature dependent resistor. it can either be when temperature increases resistance decreases or when temperature increases resistance increases.

Q

Whats is a LRD (light dependent resistor)

A

The LDR is a component whose resistance depends on the light falling on it. its resistances changes with light level. in bright light its resistance is low in darkness its resistance is high or it could be the other way around.

Q

what is a variable resistor

A

A variable resistor can be used in a circuit to control the current of a device. they are usually used in voltage dividers to adjust the sensitivity of the input.

Q

what is a transistor

A

its a switch that will turn on when an appropriate input signal is applied to the base an output current will then flow at the collector or emitter.

Q

if an LDR is at the top of a circuit what happens

A

light level increases = resistance of LDR decreases and volatage over LDR decreases so the Vout increases
