2. WHAT
IS AN
LDR?
A light dependent resistor (LDR), also
known as a photoresistor, is an
electronic component that changes its
resistance based on the intensity of
light falling on it. The resistance of an
LDR decreases as the intensity of light
falling on it increases, and vice versa.

Smoke detector
These devices are used where
there is a need to sense the
presence and absence of light
is necessary. These resistors
are used as light sensors and
the applications of LDR mainly
include alarm clocks, street
lights, light intensity meters,
burglar alarm circuits.

9. CONCLUSION
Overall, while LDRs are a useful technology, they may not be the
best choice for every application. It's important to carefully consider
the advantages and disadvantages of LDRs before selecting them
for a particular project or application.
