Description: 1. Light Dependent Resistor (LDR) Small is a simple yet versatile photoconductive component, designed primarily to measure the intensity of light. Its size makes it ideal for various applications where space is a concern. 2. Functionality: LDRs function by altering their resistance based on the amount of incident light. In darkness, they offer high resistance, but when light strikes them, their resistance significantly decreases. 3. Size and Appearance: The Light Sensitive Photoresistor LDR Small is compact in size, usually available as a round disc with metal pins for connection. Its dimensions typically are 6mm in diameter and less than 5mm in thickness. 4. Uses: LDRs are extensively used in various applications such as automatic street lights, solar panels, burglar alarms, camera light sensors, and more. They can be found in numerous home-built projects or DIY electronics due to their simplicity and affordability. 5. Operating Principle: The operating principle of LDR is based
