3.5.1.5 Potential divider
| Content | Opportunities for skills development |
|---|---|
The potential divider used to supply constant or variable potential difference from a power supply. The use of the potentiometer as a measuring instrument is not required. Examples should include the use of variable resistors, thermistors, and light dependent resistors (LDR) in the potential divider. | MS 3.2 / PS 4.1 / AT f Students can investigate the behaviour of a potential divider circuit. MS 3.2 / AT g Students should design and construct potential divider circuits to achieve various outcomes. |
