An LDR is a light dependent resistor, which is usually used to detect light levels, either ambient or reflected. The LDR works because incoming light carries energy, which can elevate the energy levels of electrons in a suitable medium to join the 'conduction band' which means that there are more charge carriers in the LDR, and hence the cell has lower resistance.
An LDR is a Light dependent resistor.
When LDR is exposed to light energy . Due to light energy incident on LDR surface, free electron movement of an atom is increased in LDR. This causes high conduction of curent flowing through LDR. beause of free electron movement in LDR, resitance get decreased.
LDR refers to Light Dependent Resistor.
A Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) is used in various applications to detect the presence or absence of light. It is commonly used in automatic lighting systems, camera exposure controls, and streetlights to adjust the intensity of light based on the surrounding conditions.
Light Dependent Resistor LDR also means long distance relationship.
The symbol for LDR Holding Corporation in NASDAQ is: LDRH.
An LDR is a 'light-dependant resistor'. It's one of the devices sometimes called "photocells", but the LDR doesn't generate anything. It only changes resistance depending on the intensity and wavelength of the illumination falling on it. The simplest application would be in a circuit that switches something on or off to correspond with daylight and darkness. Somewhat fancier applications might include ... -- monitor a light beam across the door of a store, to ring a bell when a customer walks in; -- detect the audio carried on an amplitude-modulated light beam.
LDR Holding Corporation (LDRH) had its IPO in 2013.
light
Typically anything that can turn on/off with ambient light detection (night lights, solar landscaping lights, laptops with lighting sensor to adjust the brightness and keyboard backlights, mobile phones, etc..)
As the light intensity increases, the resistance of an LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) decreases. This means that the LDR becomes more conductive and allows more current to flow through it. Conversely, when the light intensity decreases, the resistance of the LDR increases, reducing the current flowing through it.
