With the help of constructional diagram, explain the working of LDR with neat sketch.
Working Principle
The resistance depends on the intensity of light, as resistance decreases with increase in light intensity.
Characteristics
Applications of LDR
1. They are often used as light sensors.
2. They are used when there is a need to detect absences or presences of light like in a camera light meter.
3. Used in street lamps, alarm clock, burglar alarm circuits, light intensity meters, for counting the packages moving on a conveyor belt, etc.
