On the specification
| Board | Spec | Statement |
|---|---|---|
| AQA GCSE 8463 | 4.2.1.4 | Resistors |
| Edexcel GCSE 1PH0 | 10.18 | Explain how current varies with potential difference for the following devices and how this relates to resistance a filament lamps b diodes c fixed resistors |
| Edexcel GCSE 1PH0 | 10.19 | Describe how the resistance of a light-dependent resistor (LDR) varies with light intensity |
| Edexcel GCSE 1PH0 | 10.20 | Describe how the resistance of a thermistor varies with change of temperature (negative temperature coefficient thermistors only) |
| Edexcel GCSE 1PH0 | 10.21 | Explain how the design and use of circuits can be used to explore the variation of resistance in the following devices a filament lamps b diodes c thermistors d LDRs |
| OCR GCSE J249 | P3.2e | Explain that for some resistors the value of remains constant but that in others it can change as the current changes |
| OCR GCSE J249 | P3.2f | Explain the design and use of circuits to explore such effects |
| OCR GCSE J249 | P3.2g | Use graphs to explore whether circuit elements are linear or non-linear |
| OCR GCSE J249 | P3.2h | Use graphs and relate the curves produced to the function and properties of circuit elements |
