What is an LDR? (Light Dependant Resistor) - Electronics Basics 26

Let's take a look at LDRs, how they work, and their uses.

THANKYOU SO MUCH!! lost electronics student here, i can't thank you enough.

[syRoboChe]

Now I've watched entire Basic playlist and thank you for these great lectures.
It's great tool what makes your lectures more interactive. : )

[KaldranAvatar]

I've gone through the whole playlist today and it cleared up a lot of stuff, thank you! I'm getting curious about electronics and this was just what I needed :)

[akshara]

This video helped a lot with my science fair project!

This is a really well voiced video. Clear concise and easy to understand. Well done. Subscribed.

I’m confused. If more light lowers the resistance, that would mean that there would be more current flowing through the circuit, powering the load (an LED for example). So, if there’s less light, there’s higher resistance, lowering the amount of current in the circuit. So the LED would turn off. At least, that’s how I’m understanding it. Is that right? Because that doesn’t make sense to me. I thought that you would want to power an LED or other kind of light source when it got dark?

That's it, all done..
That was a fantastic course.

Thank you for some really interesting tutorials, great stuff. Gives me some confidence to tackle an up coming project which has a very practical application on resolving a automotive issue. May need some guidance. Thanks again.

Finally I have completed the playlist. Waiting for new

[anjanaimesh]

thanks lot!I watched all of simply electronic basics playlist.its help me lot for educating electronics.i am new for electronic so please tell me someone did this playlist cover all basics of electronics?

[pryansh_]

thank u sir for this wonderful explanation it really was so helpful

[jimmysegovia]

dang, good stuff man!!!! learned something new! thank you for sharing.

[resrussia]

I am looking forward to seeing the project using the LDR.

[johnthekkekara]

Nice, I have watched entire playlist .It was helpful to me Thank You. Expecting more videos covering the subject

[Destasyoum]

That was really really
 looking forward to hear from u for the next episode

Hi there, I have enjoyed your Basic Electronics series very much and even used it for teaching! So great work! 🙂👍Haven't you considered making some more videos with simple circuits, also created in Everycircuit! I could for example envision some with crystals, LF amplifiers, RF amplifiers, emitter followers, common base amplifiers, transformer circuits, mixer circuits, simple oscillators like Pierce and Collpits types, a Wien Bridge oscillator, a Wheatstone Bridge, a Maxwell Bridge and other DC or AC measurement bridges, Low pass, High pass and Bandpass filters, circuits with opamps and equivalent circuits illustrating how capacitors, inductors and resistors work at high frequencies. What do you think?

[Hustla]

hey just wanted to let you know this is an amazing channel. but im wondering how do you manage to be an engineer and simultaneously upload such good content on youtube?

[المستجيرباللهالقيرواني]

Regarding the geometric properties of the resist, is the external area of the resist (the brightness area) the only factor, or does its behavior differ with respect to thickness?

[AhmedHassan-ycdt]

That's what i was looking for to use in my educational projects, thanks alot :)

Thank you for the entire playlist😃Great lectures 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
