LDR

• What does LDR stand for?

  Light Dependent Resistor
• How does the resistance of an LDR change?

  It decreases as the amount of light increases
• What happens to an LDR's resistance when it gets dark?

  Its resistance increases
• What are the components and functions of an LDR in a circuit?

  • Components:
  • Light Dependent Resistor (LDR)
  • Functions:
  • Senses light levels
  • Changes resistance based on light intensity
  • Used in automatic lighting systems
• What is the effect of light on an LDR?

  Light causes its resistance to decrease
• Why are LDRs used in automatic lighting systems?

  They turn lights on and off based on light levels
