2.12 describe the qualitative variation of resistance of LDRs with illumination and of thermistors with temperature

An LDR is a light dependent resistor. Its resistance changes with the intensity of light: the brighter it is the less resistance; the less light the more resistance.

Thermistors are temperature dependent resistors. In hot conditions there will be less resistance where as in the cold the resistance is high.
