Normally, when something gets colder, its electrical resistance gets smaller. This is true of component-A in the drawing ... a simple resistor.
The component labeled 'B' has a strange and unusual symbol, and it's not a simple resistor. It's a "thermistor". The word "thermal" always has something to do with heat, and "thermistor" comes from "thermal resistor. These things can be manufactured either way ... using different materials, a thermistor can be manufactured so that its resistance goes UP, or goes DOWN, or doesn'tchange when it gets colder. I'm pretty sure that's what's going on here.
When this circuit gets colder, resistance-A gets smaller, but resistance-B either gets bigger OR doesn't change. Either way, the voltage across B increases. Since the LED is connected directly across B, the current through it depends on that voltage, so the LED gets more current, and becomes brighter, when A and B both get colder.
This circuit could actually be a very useful device. If you took out the LED and put a voltmeter in its place, then the reading on the voltmeter would tell you the temperature of wherever you put the two components A and B.
A)
The moon orbiting the Earth
A cloud in space that is composed of dust and gas is call a nebula. The word "nebula" is derived from the Latin word for "cloud," and nebulae in space are indeed large interstellar clouds made up of dust, hydrogen, helium and plasma.
Answer:
12 mins
Explanation:
The distance covered is 5 km, divide this by 25 to get the fraction of an hour it takes. Doing this you get .2, times this by 60 min (1 hour) to get how many mins it takes
