ACTIVITY C
(c) The resistance of the LDR decreases as brighter light falls on it.
Describe and explain how the voltage across the LDR changes as the
brightness of the light that falls on it increases.
(d) The LDR and resistor are connected to a transistor, as shown in Figure
1.2.
(i) When the LDR is in the dark, lamp L glows brightly. Explain
briefly why this happens.
(ii) When the light on the LDR is bright enough, lamp L does not
glow. Explain briefly why this happens.
SOLUTION ACTIVITY C:

(d) (i) In the dark, the LDR has a high resistance. The transistor is ‘on’ and
a voltage close to 12 V is now applied across the lamp.
(ii) In the light, the LDR has a low resistance. The transistor is ‘off’
and a voltage close to 0 V is now applied across the lamp.
