Syllabus
First assessment 2019
Course
Physics 4PH1

Exam points

  • use a graph to read LDR or thermistor resistance at a given light intensity or temperature
  • explain voltage changes in a potential divider when LDR resistance falls in brighter light
  • describe calibration measurements using water, a thermometer and voltmeter for a thermistor
