This isn't homework, but I thought that it's probably better in here, as it's a fairly quick question.
OK, so I have 2 identical balls (exact same mass and radius). They rest on the same position on 2 identical slopes (same gradient) and begin to move down the ramps. The only difference is...
Homework Statement
Why is sensitivity in a potential divider circuit greatest when the resistance of the fixed resistor is equal to the average resistance of the other resistor (in my case a LDR)?
This isn't a homework question, but I need to include a bit on why I chose the fixed resistor...
