The document summarizes a student project to build an automatic dark detector circuit using a light dependent resistor (LDR), comparator op-amp, resistors, and an LED. The circuit works by using the op-amp to compare the voltage from a potentiometer to the voltage from the LDR. When light is detected by the LDR, its resistance decreases and the LED remains off. In darkness, the LDR's resistance increases and the op-amp activates the LED. The circuit has potential applications as an emergency light, for automatic street light control to save energy, and for automatically turning appliances on and off based on light detection.

COURSE NAME AND CODE: BASIC ELECTRONICS (EL-103)

DATED: 11th JULY 2022


TOPIC:
Automatic Dark detector LDR project using Comparator Op-Amp on breadboard.

INSTRUMENTS USED:
 A breadboard and some connecting wires
 2 resistors of values(10kohm,220ohm)
 LDR (Light-Dependent Resistor)
 A 9V battery with jack
 10kohm Potentiometer
 LM358 Op-Amp
 White LED

WORKING:
The LM358 IC is comparing voltage coming from 10 K Potentiometer and LDR. The
potentiometer is used to set a reference voltage at the inverting terminal (IC Pin 2) of
the comparator; it is used to adjust the LDR sensitivity.
When there is light (it can be of torch, sun and etc.) the LDR shows less resistance. In
this condition, the input voltage at the non-inverting terminal (IC Pin 3) is less than the
inverting terminal (IC Pin 2) of the IC. So the IC output (Pin1) is Low which will cause
LED to remain off.
When there is dark then LDR shows comparatively more resistance and now the input
voltage at the non-inverting terminal (IC Pin 3) is greater than the inverting terminal
(IC Pin 2) of the IC. So the IC output (Pin1) is high which will cause LED to glow.

PROCEDURE:
 Place LM358 IC on breadboard.
 Connect a 10kohm potentiometer with inverting pin of the LM358 IC.
 Node point of 10K ohm resistor and LDR is connected at its non-inverting terminal
(IC Pin-3).
 Connect a 220ohm resistor and LED with output pin of the IC in series.
 Make proper connections using connecting wires.
 In the last connect positive terminal of battery with IC pin 8 and negative terminal
with ground pin (Pin4).
CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:

USES OF DARK DETECTOR LDR:


This Circuit is very cost effective, components are easily available and it has number of
uses some are as under:
 This circuit can act as an emergency light in case of power cut.
 We can design it as Automatic system for street light controlling, through which we
can reduce energy consumption because the manually operated street lights are
not switched off properly even the sunlight comes and also not switched on earlier
before sunset.
 It can also be designed to ON and OFF any appliance by detection of light and dark
and etc.
