Variable resistors
A push fit control knob
Where a resistance
needs to be changed
on a regular basis.
e.g. the volume
control on a radio
uses
a
variable
resistor.
Variable resistor
Thermistor
Thermistor
Used in circuits
which need to
respond to changes
in
temperature
(e.g. thermostats).
Also
used
digital
thermometers.
in
A thermistor is a
device
whose
resistance drops as
the
temperature
increases.
LDR
LDR
Light Dependant Resistor
A LDR is a device that increases
its resistance as the level of light
falling upon it decreases.
An ORP12 LDR has a daylight
resistance value of 1k ohm. This
value changes to about 10M ohms
in darkness.
