What is a photoresistor / photocell?

A photoresistor or photocell is a light-controlled variable resistor. The resistance of a photoresistor decreases with increasing incident light intensity. A photoresistor can be applied in light-sensitive detector circuits, and light- and dark-activated switching circuits. It's also called light-dependent resistor (LDR).

What are the basic characteristics of a photocell?

The basic characteristics of the photocell were tested and analysed through experiments by an optical control experimental platform, such as short circuit current, open circuit voltage, illumination characteristic, volt ampere characteristic, load characteristic, and spectral characteristic.

How do photocells work?

Photocells are included in photographic exposure meters, light-and dark-activated lights, and intrusion alarms. Some light-activated alarms are triggered by breaking a light beam. There are even light-reflective smoke alarms based on photocells. Fig. 5 to 20 show practical photocell circuits; each will work with almost any photocell.

What is a photocell sensor?

The photocell is one kind of sensor, which can be used to allow you to sense light. The main features of photo-cell include these are very small, low-power, economical, very simple to use. Because of these reasons, these are used frequently in gadgets, toys, and appliances. These sensors are frequently referred to as Cadmium-Sulfide (CdS) cells.

What is the operating frequency of a photocell?

Operating Frequency: The maximum number of on/off cycles that the device is capable of in one second. According to EN 50010. Light Immunity: The maximum limit of an incandescent light or sunlight. Beyond this limit, the photocell may not work correctly due to interference on the receiver. ≤ 30 mA ≤ 35 mA

What is a commercial photocell?

(The lux is the SI unit of illuminance produced by a luminous flux of 1 lumen uniformly distributed over a surface of 1 square meter). Commercial photocells have good power and voltage ratings, similar to those of conventional resistors.
