In the space below, draw a circuit diagram that includes a battery, a switch, a fixed resistor and a variable resistor, all joined in series.
The c.r.o. is used to measure the voltage across the fixed resistor. On your circuit diagram, mark the two points $A$ and $B$ where the c.r.o. connects to the circuit.
State which control knob is adjusted to move the dot to the centre of the screen, as shown in Fig. 3.1b.
Calculate the voltage $V_{AB}$ across the fixed resistor.
The resistance of the variable resistor is reduced. State what happens to the dot on the screen.
