Potential Dividers
 

Potential Dividers problem 17


In the potentiometer circuit shown, the reading on the ammeter is zero.




The light-dependent resistor (LDR) is then covered and the ammeter gives a non-zero reading. Which change could return the ammeter reading to zero?


  • decreasing the supply voltage


  • increasing the supply voltage


  • moving the sliding contact to the left


  • moving the sliding contact to the right
