Working Principle: Op Amp IC UA 741 Is Used As A Voltage Comparator. Its Inverting Input

This circuit functions as a simple burglar alarm that detects movement through changes in light intensity. It uses a light dependent resistor (LDR) that decreases in resistance when light falls on it. The LDR is connected to an operational amplifier comparator integrated circuit. When shadow passes over the LDR, its increased resistance causes the comparator output to switch, activating a buzzer and LED to indicate an intrusion. The circuit is portable and can detect movement from up to 1 meter away without requiring an aligned light beam.

ABSTRACT
SHADOW ALARM:
This is the circuit of a simple burglar alarm that produces a loud beep when somebody
crosses a protected area or door. The circuit is highly sensitive and can detect the shadow of
the moving person from a distance of 1 meter. It does not require an aligned light beam to
make the circuit standby. It is portable and can be places anywhere for monitoring.
Principle: LDR or Light Dependent Resistor is a specialized type of resistor made up of
Cadmium Sulphide. Its resistance depends on the intensity of light falling on it. In dark, its
resistance will be very high about 10 Meg ohms. When light falls on LDR its resistance
reduces to a few ohms. Thus the resistance of LDR depends on the light intensity. So it is
called as a photo sensor. Operational amplifiers are Integrated Circuits(IC) that are used in
amplifier circuits. Op-Amps have two inputs. These are Inverting input(negative) and non
inverting input(positive). The output of IC becomes high when the non inverting input gets
more voltage that inverting input. When the condition reverses, output becomes low.
Working Principle: Op Amp IC UA 741 is used as a voltage comparator. Its inverting input
pin2 receives half supply voltage (4.5 volts) through the potential resistors R1 and R2. The
non inverting input pin3 gets a variable voltage through LDR and VR. Normally when the
LDR gets light, its resistance will be low and it conducts and provide a high voltage to the
non inverting input of IC. This makes the output of IC high. The high output from IC is given
to the base of T1 through a current limiting resistor R3. T1 is PNP transistor and it conducts
only when its base becomes negative. Here normally the base of T1 will be high due to the
high output from IC. So T1 remains off and Buzzer and LED connected to its emitter remains
off. When a person passes in front of LDR, the shadow of the person reduces the resistance of
LDR and the voltage at the non inverting input of IC decreases. This makes the output of IC
low. Immediately T1 conducts activating Buzzer and LED indicating the entry of a person.
