A potential divider circuit shown in Figure 4 consists of an LDR and a 10.0 kΩ fixed resistor connected in series across a 12.0 V supply. The potential at point X is 0.40 V in the dark and 4.2 V when light falls on the LDR.

Explain how the circuit in Figure 4 could be modified so that the voltage at X is MAXIMUM when the LDR is in the dark.

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.
