need help with Reed relay, Reed switch and LDR
« on: March 23, 2011, 01:22:20 pm »
hello
i need help with Reed relay, Reed switch and LDR.
How does street lights work using LDR and a normally closed reed relay?
help me please

Street Lamp working:
LDR (photoresistor) resist the flow of electricity, but their resistance drops when light hits them. The more resistance in a circuit, the less electric current flows through. In a LDR powered street light, a small current runs through the resistor. When it becomes dark, the resistance increases and the current drops. Now the Reed relay which consists of "Normally Opened" relay switch is used. The low current in the circuit makes the reed relay to power the lamp with the battery in the another circuit.

thanks a alot, nut actually our school physics teacher told us that a normal closed relay is used.  :-\
so which one is correct ????????

Won't a closed switch gets open? In open circuit current doesn't flows.

i donno
there are 2 circuits
     
During night time this circuit is drawn

Oh, Sorry sorry
You are correct :-[
Yes, normally closed switch works in it
I am sorry.

no problem bro ;)
we didnt get any questions about LDR and relays today, it was phyiscs mock exam.
i was so worried about LDR, Relays and transistors xd xd

i had physics on Wednesday, mocks :P
Gave it without studying because i was sck >:(
i had a transistor question :-[

actually i have no idea about transistors.
i dont have a good physics textbook to study about transistors from it :(

Study notes and check a book named "Physics for you" by Keith Johnson. Its a good book :)
