Question

Show all working explaining detailly each step.

Imagine you were provided with: a thermistor (black component), an LDR (somewhat whitish), a standard resistor RA(10Ω - 100Ω), a milliammeter, a crocodile clips fixed to connecting wires, a switch , a 1.5V cell with connecting leads attached to it or two small cells with a battery holder, sand paper.

Make a series circuit comprising an open switch, a power supply, a milliammeter and one of the two - electrode components. Close the switch and hold the component tightly between your thumb and your forefinger so that little or nothing of it is visible.

Open the switch and repeat the above procedure using the second component. Hence deduce the name of each component

Give a brief outline of your procedure, Observation/results, Calculations, Inference, Conclusion, highlighting any precautions you have taken to improve on the accuracy of your results.

Explain why when you enclosed the components completely between your thumb and forefinger, the situation in the circuit changed.
