AS Level Physics - 10.3 Potential Dividers

This Powerpoint specifically uses the Cambridge AS Level international Syllabus (9702) and covers all criteria for – Unit 10.3 Potential Dividers

Students will be able to -

1 understand the principle of a potential divider circuit

2 recall and use the principle of the potentiometer as a means of comparing potential differences

3 understand the use of a galvanometer in null methods

4 explain the use of thermistors and light-dependent resistors in potential dividers to provide a potential difference that is dependent on temperature and light intensity

**Every Powerpoint includes learning objectives, a starter and plenary, suitable activities and review questions with mark scheme. We also provide a free pdf version of the file so it can easily be printed for students as a handout or uploaded to the school VLE system
