Electric circuits — practice question

A student is trying to find out how the resistance of a light-dependent resistor (LDR) changes as the brightness of the light in the room changes.
(a)[3]

Three mistakes have been made by the student. Identify the three mistakes in the student’s circuit.

(b(i))[1]

Using the information in Fig. 10.2, Describe how the brightness of the light in the room changes the resistance of the LDR.

(b(ii))[4]

Calculate the current in the LDR when the light is at 60% of full brightness.
