Investigating LDRs
A light dependent resistor is a resister that depends on the amount of light shining on it.
Introduction
I will be investigating how much of a current that flows through the resistor depends on the amount of light that is shining on the LDR.
Planning
My prediction for this coursework is that the more the further that I move the LDR from the light the weaker the current will be on the milliammeter.
Equipment
The equipment that I will be using will be:
Milliammter
LDR
Cell (battery)
Meter Ruler
Lamp
Power Pack
4 Leads
Component Clip
Method
Step by Step
I will be working in a pair. I will set up a circuit that will measure the amount of light that will shin on the LDR.I will be taking 8 reading of different distances. We will be repeating each concentration three times so all together we will have 24 sets of results. This will make it a fair test.
