	Potential divider: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com
		The potential divider (or voltage divider) is a setup used in electronics to directly vary the potential difference across components.
		The resistance arising from the resistance in the potential divider in parallel with the resistance in the second circuit, resulting from its components, is R
		One of the advantages of the potential divider compared to the variable resistor is that whereas variable resistors have a maximum resistance where some current will always flow, dividers are able to vary the current from maximum to practically zero.

	Potentiometer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Originally the term potentiometer was used to decribe an apparatus used to measure the potential (or voltage) in a circuit by tapping off a portion of a known voltage from a resistive slide wire and comparing it with the unknown voltage by means of a voltmeter or galvanometer.
		The word itself derives from the phrase "voltage potential," and "potential" was used to refer to "strength." The original potentiometers are divided into four main classes: the constant resistance potentiometer, the constant current potentiometer, the microvolt potentiometer and the thermocouple potentiometer.
		The 'modern' potentiometer can be used as a potential divider (or voltage divider) to obtain a manually adjustable output voltage at the slider (wiper) from a fixed input voltage applied across the two ends of the pot.

		The voltage or potential difference (often referred to as the p.d.) of the supply is a measure of the energy given to the charges in a circuit.
		Potential difference (p.d.), or voltage, is measured using a voltmeter which is connected in parallel with the component.
		A potential divider is a device or a circuit that uses two (or more) resistors or a variable resistor (potentiometer) to provide a fraction of the available voltage (p.d.) from the supply.

	I have been assigned the task to test and evaluate a sensor. The sensor I have chosen is a temperature sensor.
		This is because it is a potential divider and the potential difference has been divided up between the two resistors in the ratio of their resistances.
		This means that a lower value resistor than the thermistor that it is connected with as a potential divider would result in the sensor not being able to resolve small changes in the potential difference, which would mean it would be less sensitive.
		The experiments when the value of the variable resistor was much greater than the thermistor produced more accurate results and if used in sensing the temperature of something this potential divider would be able to resolve to a greater degree of accuracy than the one with a smaller value resistor in.
