LDR Working Principle

 

LDR Working Principle

It works on the principle of photoconductivity whenever the light falls on its photoconductive material, it absorbs its energy and the electrons of that photoconductive material in the valence band get excited and go to the conduction band and thus increasing the conductivity as per the increase in light intensity.

Also, the energy in incident light should be greater than the bandgap gap energy so that the electrons from the valence band got excited and go to the conduction band.

The LDR has the highest resistance in dark around 1012 Ohm and this resistance decreases with the increase in Light.

Light Intensity V/S Resistance

As per the property of LDRs, the amount of light entering the LDR the inversely proportional to the resistance of the sensor, and the graph is hyperbolic in nature.
