2nd year ECE
AIM:
The aim of an LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) darkness sensor circuit is
to detect the presence or intensity of darkness by utilizing the property
of an LDR, where its resistance changes based on the amount of light it
receives; essentially, when darkness increases, the LDR's resistance rises,
allowing a circuit to activate a response like turning on a light when it gets
dark.
COMPONENTS REQUIRED
1.Transistor BC547-1No
2.LDR(light dependent Resistor)-1No
3.Resistors- 220ohm,10k ohm
4.LED (5mm)-1No
5.1N4007 Diode-1No
6.SPDT Relay(5v)-1No
7.Bulb(220v)-1No
8.Battery(5v)-1No
9.Breadboard-1No
MAIN COMPONENT:
light-dependent resistor (LDR)
sensor, also known as a
photoresistor, is a passive electronic
component that detects light. It
changes its electrical resistance
based on the amount of light it's
exposed to.
Working:
In the Light Sensor Circuit (first diagram) when the brightness of light
increases, the LDR’s resistance reduces and so the voltage at the base of
transistor increases (because if LDR resistance reduces, the voltage
drop(gap) across the LDR, towards positive side decreases). Once this
voltage increases above the required threshold voltage at the base, the LED
turns on.
Circuit diagram:
THIS ISTHE FINAL OUTCOME OFTHE PROJECT
Advantages:
1.Simple design and low cost
2.Easy to implement
3.Effective light level detection
4.Energy-efficient potential
Applications:
1.securitty lights
2.Indoor lighting
3.Automatic night lights
4.Photography light meters
5.Alarm systems
6.Industrial automation
CONCLUSION:
this LDR darkness sensor circuit will be further developed to incorporate
advanced features like adjustable sensitivity levels, ambient light
compensation mechanisms, and potential integration with smart home
systems, allowing for more refined control of lighting based on precise
darkness detection in various environments, leading to enhanced energy
efficiency and user convenience.
