*(b) The photograph shows a temporary traffic sign.
The traffic sign uses many small lights all powered by a rechargeable battery.
These lights need to be very bright during the day so that they can be seen clearly.
They do not need to be as bright at night.
Explain how using a light-dependent resistor can make the energy stored in the battery last
longer.

a simple explanation correctly linking the temperature and light with
resistance or current for both devices
OR a correct relationship for one device with a link to the way this
affects the current and resistance.
e.g. the resistance of a LDR increases when the light gets dimmer and
when the temperature lowers the resistance of a thermistor increases
OR the resistance of a LDR decreases when the light gets brighter
and this increases the current
the answer communicates ideas showing some evidence of clarity
and organisation and uses scientific terminology appropriately
spelling, punctuation and grammar are used with some accuracy
a detailed explanation including the qualitative relationships for both
devices and a link to the way resistance change affects the current in
BOTH of them, e.g. the resistance of a LDR is less when the light gets
brighter which increases the current. When the temperature lowers
the resistance of a thermistor increases. This means that the current
will decrease as the thermistor cools down.
