Understanding Light Dependent Resistors (LDRs)

The video tutorial introduces light dependent resistors (LDRs), explaining their function as resistors that change resistance based on light exposure. It demonstrates how LDRs work using a multimeter, showing resistance changes as light intensity varies. The video also discusses practical applications of LDRs, such as in street lights and cameras, and concludes with a preview of future content on making a nightlight using an LDR.

What is another name for a light dependent resistor?

• Photoresistor

• Inductor

What material are LDRs typically made from?

• Semiconductor

• Glass

• Plastic
