Electric circuits — practice question

The diagram illustrates a potential divider circuit. The thermistor's temperature rises. What happens to the thermistor's resistance, and what happens to the voltmeter reading?

  • Aresistance of thermistor decreases; voltmeter reading decreases
  • Bresistance of thermistor decreases; voltmeter reading increases
  • Cresistance of thermistor increases; voltmeter reading decreases
  • Dresistance of thermistor increases; voltmeter reading increases
