E&M Lab Project Report
Introduction:
LDR circuit is alarm circuit is a simple electronics project. The circuit
schematic produces a beep sound when any object comes toward
the LDR.The advantage of this project circuit is that it can
automatically send information to the owner of the home or any other
place that a visitor is at the door or the specified place, it can be used
in many ways for security purposes.
The circuit simply consists of a LDR with BC158 and BC187 transisto
rs. Any electronics hobbyist can implement this circuit at home or
work places at a cheap rate.The heart Of this alarm circuit is the
transistor switching part. So this circuit always useful if we are
sleeping at home and any unwanted thing is happening like any
unknown person trying to get into our home without our permission.
Any object or person coming front to the LDR is detected using this
simple project circuit

Working mechanism:
The above circuit simply follows three principles which are
given below.
1) Voltage divider: Maximum voltage drop occurs across
high resistance.
2) When light falls on LDR, its resistance goes Low and vice
versa.
3) The Field effect transistor uses gate biasing voltage to
control current passing between source and drain.

Advantages and disadvantages of the
PROJECT:
The main advantage of this project is energy saving if we use
this circuit in street lights. The lights will automatically turnoff
during day time.
No one can see the LAZER light so no one can avoid himself
from being detected.
The disadvantage is this circuit is costly than normal circuit.
