This document describes a lab report on a light sensor circuit. The objectives of the experiment were to understand how a light dependent resistor (LDR) or photo resistor works and how it impacts the circuit. The equipment used included resistors, an LDR sensor, an NPN transistor, LEDs, and a 12V battery. The procedure connected these components in a circuit to test how the brightness of the LED changed with different levels of light on the LDR. The conclusion was that with minimum light on the LDR, the LED glowed dimly, and with maximum light it glowed at full brightness.

1. Introduction 
The light sensor circuit is one of the coolest circuits in basic electronics projects.

It detects the quantity of light present in the environment and the results can be detected

by the brightness of the LED.

2. Objectives
The objectives of the experiment are to knowing the working of LDR (Light

Dependent Resistor) or Photo resistor, working of NPN Transistor, the impact of the

sensitivity of the resistor on the circuit.

3. Equipment Used
The equipment and materials used during the project

 Resistor (1KΩ , 100KΩ)

 LDR sensor

 Transistor BC547 (NPN)

 LEDs

 Battery 12V

4. Procedure
                     Firstly connect LDR on Breadboard then connect the base of BC547 to one pin of

LDR. On the other end connect an LED to two parallel pins of Breadboard. Now a resistor of

470 Ohm needs to be connected to +ve terminal of LED to +ve rail of Breadboard and the

second resistor of 10K ohm needs to be connected to the base of the transistor to the -ve rail of
the breadboard. Now connect jumpers between -ve terminal of the LED to collector pin of

transistor and from the emitter of the transistor to -ve rail of Breadboard and from remaining

LDR pin to +ve rail of Breadboard. Finally, connect a battery to the Breadboard and test the

circuit.

5. Results

6. Conclusion

 Power up the circuit, light incident on LDR has minimized the resistance due to this
minimum voltage drop at the base of the transistor and very dim light glow.

 Medium-light incident on LDR due to which a medium brightness of LED glow.

 Very low light incident on LDR, the result of this is LED glow with Full Brightness.
