🔌 LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) Connection – Circuit + Working
📷 Basic LDR Circuit Diagram
🧠 LDR kya hota hai?
LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) ek aisa sensor hai jiska resistance light ke hisaab se change hota hai:
🌞 Light jyada → Resistance kam
🌙 Light kam → Resistance jyada
🔧 Required Components:
LDR (Photoresistor)
Resistor (10kΩ approx)
LED
Battery (5V–9V)
Connecting wires
⚡ Circuit Connection (Step-by-Step):
LDR ka ek terminal → Battery (+) se connect kare
LDR ka dusra terminal → resistor ke ek side se connect kare
Resistor ka dusra terminal → Battery (–) se connect kare
LED ko resistor ke parallel ya series me connect kare (polarity ka dhyan rakhe)
👉 Simple samajh:
(+V) ── LDR ──●── Resistor ── (GND)

(GND)
⚙️ Working Principle (POC – Proof of Concept):
☀️ Din me (light jyada):
LDR ka resistance kam ho jata hai → voltage drop kam hota hai → LED OFF ya dim
🌑 Raat me (dark):
LDR ka resistance badh jata hai → voltage change hota hai → LED ON
👉 Isliye ise automatic street light me use kiya jata hai.
💡 Practical Use:
Street light automatic ON/OFF
Garden light
Light sensor alarm
Mobile brightness control
