Electronics Experiments Procedure

 

Step 3:

  • Power up your circuit, and attempt to make the motor run when the CdS sensor is lighted.
    • With the CdS cell lighted, change the value of R2 until the motor is just running freely.
    • When you pass your hand over the CdS photocell and partially block the light, the motor should slow down proportionally. When the light goes out, the motor should stop.
