QUESTION 6 Resistors are included in circuits that are used as potential dividers. (a) Derive an equation for the combined resistance RT for two resistors, R1 and R2, in series. (3) (b) The diagram (see addendum) shows a circuit that includes a resistor combination. The battery has negligible internal resistance. The ammeter displays a current of 0.50 A. Calculate the resistance R. (3) (c) The circuit shown (see addendum) includes a light dependent resistor (LDR). The battery has no internal resistance. (i) In normal daylight, this particular type of LDR has a resistance of 670 Ω. Calculate the power dissipated in the fixed resistor in normal daylight. resistance of fixed resistor = 8.00 kΩ (3) (ii) As the light intensity incident upon the LDR decreases, the power dissipated in the fixed resistor decreases. Explain why the power in the fixed resistor decreases. Your answer should include reference to the electrons in the LDR. (4)
