Light sensitivity sensor - LDR
We know how resistor works right? Let's go back to Chapter 3, Components and Connections for a quick recap and come back here. It essentially restricts the flow of electrons in a circuit. Light Depended Resistor is a special kind of resistor that reduces its resistance when light falls on it. How does that work you ask? Good question.
Let's dig a little deeper into what is LDR and how it works. First of all, this is how the symbol of LDR looks like:

The arrow signs coming down show the light falling on the LDR. You ...
