What shape is the line on a current-potential difference graph for a filament bulb? Showing?
A curve, the current is not directly proportional to the potential difference.
1 of 7
What happens to the filament bulb as the current increases?
The resistance of the filament increases.
2 of 7
What increases as the temperature increases?
The resistance.
3 of 7
Which way does the current flow in a diode?
In one direction only.
4 of 7
What happens in the reverse direction in the diode?
There is a very high resistance so the current is zero.
5 of 7
What happens to a LDR as the light falling on it gets brighter?
The resistance of the light-dependent resistor (LDR) decreases.
6 of 7
What causes a thermistor resistance to go down?
The temperature goes up.
