Light Sensitive Photoresistor LDR Small

Light Sensitive Photoresistor LDR Small
LDR Stands for Light Dependent Resistor and its Resistivity varies with Incident Electromagnetic Radiations so, its resistivity is a function of Incident Electromagnetic Radiations or light. Other names of LDR are photoresistor, Photoconductor, Photocell, and photo-conducting cell
