When the value of LDR is 10k ohm, the value of V out is 4.9997V.

Thus, the LED is


switched off because the Vout is more than 2V.

When the value of LDR is 50k ohm, the value of V out is 75.6914 V. Therefore, the LED
is switched on because the value of V out is less than 2V.

When the value of LDR is 100k ohm, the value of V out is 75.6906V. Thus, the LED is
switched on because Vout is lower than 2V.

LIGHT DEPENDENT RESISTOR

Light dependent resistor (LDR), also known as photoresistor, is a resistor whose


resistance drops with increasing light intensity. LDR is also referred to
photoconductor, of which it is made up of. LDR is made up of high resistance
semiconductor, sometimes as high as 1M ohm, but when illuminated with light, the
resistance drops dramatically. When light falling on the LDR has high frequency,
photons absorbed by the semiconductor gives bound electrons enough energy to
jump into conduction band, thus allowing free electrons to conduct electricity,
causing the resistance to drop. LDR is very useful in light or dark sensor circuits.
