LDR

The resistance of Light Dependent Resistors (LDR) decreases when light falls on them. LDRs are frequently used as sensors in light activated switch circuits, for example, to switch on lights in the evening when it starts to get dark.

Current varies with voltage in LDR. You are going to study this variation.
