Question 19
a.

The table shows the names and circuit symbols of some electrical components. Complete the table by giving the missing information.

Table showing electrical components and symbols

b.

A student wants to find the resistance of a light-dependent resistor (LDR) in a dark room. They measure a current of 0.16 A0.16\text{ A}0.16 A in the LDR when the potential difference across it is 12.0 V12.0\text{ V}12.0 V.

State the equation linking potential difference (voltage), current, and resistance.

[1]
c.

Calculate the resistance of the LDR under these conditions.

[2]
d.

The student shines light of different intensities on the LDR and measures its resistance. Sketch a graph of the expected results on a set of axes.
