P2.3 - AQA GCSE Physics Unit 2 - Suggested Practical Experiments for this Unit

Suggested ideas for practical work to develop skills and understanding include the following:

■ using filament bulbs and resistors to investigate potential difference/current characteristics

■ investigating potential difference/current characteristics for LDRs and thermistors

■ setting up series and parallel circuits to investigate current and potential difference

■ plan and carry out an investigation to find the relationship between the resistance of thermistors and their temperature

■ investigating the change of resistance of LDRs with light intensity.
