1 00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:04,179 Ok, we have here another electronic circuit 2 00:00:04,179 --> 00:00:13,179 With this circuit what we want to control is the amount of light this LED emits 3 00:00:13,179 --> 00:00:19,179 And for that we have here the control component 4 00:00:19,179 --> 00:00:25,179 It's a LDR, Light Dependent Resistor 5 00:00:25,179 --> 00:00:34,179 That means that the resistance of the resistor depends on the amount of light we have in the environment 6 00:00:34,179 --> 00:00:42,179 The more light we have, the less resistance the component has 7 00:00:42,179 --> 00:00:47,179 And the less light, the more resistance 8 00:00:47,179 --> 00:00:51,179 As an electric circuit, it is a simple electric circuit 9 00:00:51,179 --> 00:00:59,939 the battery the current comes out of the battery through its positive terminal 10 00:00:59,939 --> 00:01:07,260 goes through this wire through this line passes through this fixed resistor goes 11 00:01:07,260 --> 00:01:16,859 through the LED and now goes to the LDR and comes back to the battery through 12 00:01:16,859 --> 00:01:27,420 negative terminal let's see how it works here we have the same circuits so I'm going to simulate 13 00:01:27,420 --> 00:01:42,959 the circuit now we don't have in theory any light so the LED is off as we increase the amount of 14 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:57,239 light as you can see the LED emits more light because the resistance of the LDR 15 00:01:57,239 --> 00:02:07,439 is less than we have darkness in our environments then the more light the 16 00:02:07,439 --> 00:02:14,090 The less resistance, so the more currents through the circuits. 17 00:02:14,090 --> 00:02:21,650 The less light, the more resistance of this component, so the less currents through the 18 00:02:21,650 --> 00:02:27,569 circuit, so the LED is, in theory, off. 19 00:02:27,569 --> 00:02:28,909 And that's it.
