Question	Answer
Example of a potential divider circuit :	Image: Potential Divider (image/jpeg)
Potential divider circuits have at least....	2 resistors
If a component has a higher resistance, it means the voltage will be....	Also higher
Image: Capture (binary/octet-stream)	As temperature decreases, resistance of the thermistor increases Therefore it's share of voltage also increases (shares larger proportion) So the heater is connected in parallel to get a higher voltage in order to turn on (as voltage in parallel = same)
Image: Capture (binary/octet-stream)	As temperature increases, resistance of the thermistor decreases Therefore the resistor will share the larger proportion of total voltage So the fan is connected in parallel to the resistor to receive a higher voltage when hot
