  1. Photoresistor - Wikipedia

    A photoresistor (also known as a light-dependent resistor, LDR, or photo-conductive cell) is a passive component that decreases in resistance as a result of increasing illuminance (light) on …

  2. Photoresistor- Definition, Working, Types and Applications

    The name photoresistor is the combination of words: photon (light particles) and resistor. A photoresistor is a type of resistor whose resistance decreases when the intensity of light …

  3. Photoresistor | Resistor Types | Resistor Guide - EE Power

    Photoresistors, also known as light dependent resistors (LDR), are light sensitive devices most often used to indicate the presence or absence of light, or to measure the light intensity.

  4. Photoresistors - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics

    A photoresistor is defined as a sensor that changes its resistance in response to light intensity, with higher light levels resulting in lower resistance and lower light levels leading to higher …

  5. Photoresistor(LDR) : Working Principle, Types and Applications

    Feb 6, 2024 · A photoresistor is also called a light-dependent resistor (LDR) and is a passive electronic component. Photocell and photoconductive cells are other names for photoresistors, …

  6. Photoresistor Basics: Types, Principles and Applications

    Jan 3, 2020 · A photoresistor (LDR for Light Decreasing Resistance, or light-dependent resistor, or photo-conductive cell) is a passive component that decreases resistance with respect to …

  7. What are Photoresistors and How Do They Work?

    May 28, 2025 · A photoresistor is a passive electronic component whose resistance decreases as the intensity of light increases. It functions on the principle of photoconductivity, where the …

  8. Photo Resistor - GeeksforGeeks

    Feb 26, 2024 · A photoresistor, additionally called a mild-based resistor (LDR) or photocell, is a variable resistor whose resistance changes in response to incident mild. It consists of a …

  9. How Photoresistors Work, Types, and Common Uses

    Jul 21, 2025 · A photoresistor, also known as a light-dependent resistor (LDR), is a type of resistor whose resistance changes based on the amount of light hitting its surface.
