Procedure:
1. Use the bench digital multimeter (DMM) to measure and record the resistance of the LDR. Then cover it
with your finger and repeat the measurement.
Bench DMM
R uncovered= __________ Press the “Ω 2W”
R covered= __________
2. Using a breadboard, assemble the circuit as shown below. If the LED does not illuminate reverse the legs of
the LED.
Bench Power Supply
CH3, +5V
3. Keep the power supply connected to the circuit, measure the voltage across the LDR as you cover and
uncover the LDR. Record you results below.
4. Replace the LED with another LED (different color), record your results below:
