When using a photocell resistor, what happens when it is covered?

• The photocell resistor stops functioning entirely when covered.
• The resistance increases, causing the connected circuit to activate.
• The resistance decreases, causing the connected circuit to deactivate.
• The resistance remains the same, having no effect on the circuit.

What is an algorithm?

• A recipe for cooking a meal.
• A random guess about a problem.
• An algorithm is a step-by-step procedure for solving a problem.
