The project on study the effect of
intensity of light on current flowing
through the LDR circuit would never
have become to happen without the
encouragement of many individuals. I
am deeply indebted to many teachers
who gave me their support to
understand this project.
It gave me immense pleasure to
embellish my heartiest sense of
gratitude and profound privilege to
express my sincere thank to mrs
preface
As per requirement of senior
secondary syllabus under CBSE
board , new delhi a project report has
to be submitted on many topic
included in the syllabus. Such an
effort when organised with a define
aim is known project.
The objective of project has taken
scientific thinking . I completed this on
Introduction
A light dependent resistor (LDR) is a
semiconductor product either cadmium sulphide
or cadmium selenide arranged in a zigzag
pattern as shown in Figure-1. The resistance of
the material varies with incident light. When it
is connected to an external battery current flow
depending on the light intensity. The current is
controlled by incident light. There is no pn

Discussions
LDR is a useful semiconductor device for
applications in light control instruments. The
dark resistance is of the order of few Meg ohms
and saturated resistance is an about 80 ohms
with LDR current up to 50mA. The constant b
appearing in the LDR equation is of the
dimension of ohm/lux. The exact nature of this
constant is not known. We assumed that it
depends on the material and size of the LDR.
Surprisingly we have seen a spectral response
for LDR. For green light LDR resistance is the
maximum. The response is similar to human
eye response. However, by physical observation
of the three LED lights it is found that blue had
very high intensity followed red and then green.
The response may be due to the intensity, may
