Light dependent resistor.
Otis Boykin invented the resistor in 1959.
the wire in your light bulb is a resistor :)
Photoresistors also known as light dependent resistor (LDR) are used to increase light intensity by decreasing resistance. This is applied to camera lights, street lights, solar street lamps.
Measure Light Intensity using Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) The resistance of the Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) varies according to the amount of light that falls on it. The relationship between the resistance RL and light intensity Lux for a typical LDR is RL = 500 / Lux Kohm With the LDR connected to 5V through a 3.3K resistor, the output voltage of the LDR is Vo = 5*RL / (RL+3.3) Reworking the equation, we obtain the light intensity Lux = (2500/Vo - 500)/3.3 For a low cost LDR, at the same light intensity, the part to part variation in resistance can be as high as 50%. Therefore such a low cost LDR is seldom used for measuring light intensity but more for light presence/absence detection.

using a variable resistor we can adjust the sensitivity of a light dependent resistor
yes, a variable resistor
An LDR is a Light dependent resistor.
Light dependent resistor.
LDR refers to Light Dependent Resistor.
itroduction on LDR
a resistor , two multimeter ,
As light falls on the conductor then emission of electrons would increase the conductivity and so its resistivity decreases. Such a conductor is known as light dependent resistor.
Its slows down energy when it passes thought the light depntent resistor.
The LDR dependent AC dimmer is a Light Dependent Resistor which works by chopping off the parts of the AC voltage.
This is a Resistors,who's resistance decrease when light energy falls on its surface gradually.
