What is a 'resultant force?
The force that is created by someone/somethings action
3 of 18
What if there is not resultant force?
There is no change in velocity

Does the material that gains electrons become negatively charged, have an equal positive charge or positively charged? and does the material that looses electrons become negative, equally positively charged or positively charged?
Negatively. an equal positive charge

Explain what a fixed resistor is.
They only have one job. can't change its values. always gives the same current unit.
10 of 18
Explain what a variable resistor is.
Anything with a dial to give more/less power. value is changed by turning dial.used in dimmer switched and volume controls.
11 of 18
Explain what a light dependent resistor is.
(LDR) change with the light level. bright light-low resistance and more current. used in ?auto-brightness' systems.respond quickly
12 of 18
Explain what a thermistor is.
Change with temp. hotter- lower resistance and are current. used in thermostats. don't respond instantly as have to warm up first
13 of 18
Fill in the gaps; LDR's and thermistors are both ________ __-________ devices
NEGATIVE CO-EFFICENT

How do you calculate the resistance using Ohm's law?
Resistance= voltage divided by current
15 of 18
How do you calculate the current using Ohm's law?
current= voltage (pd) divided by resistance
16 of 18
How do you calculate the pd (voltage) using Ohm's law?
pd (voltage)= current X resistance
