Practise interpreting LDR and thermistor circuits using resistance graphs, voltage sharing and changes in light intensity or temperature.
The circuit diagram shows a light dependent resistor (LDR) and a 73Ω resistor connected in series with a 1.5 V cell.
The graph shows how the resistance of the LDR changes with light intensity.
Describe the relationship between the resistance of the LDR and light intensity.
- resistance decreases as light intensity increases
- non-linear / decreasing rate / curve
