Under the condition of the Fig1 circuit, the illuminance on photocell is controlled by illumination meter. Adjust illumination to the minimum, connected to the illumination meter, DC power to the minimum, open the illumination meter, at this time the illumination meter readings should be 0.
On the contrary, when the intensity of the light on the silicon photocell is changed from strong to weak, when the illuminance reaches a certain value, the light-emitting diode will emit light, thus the design of the light controlled switch circuit based on the silicon photocell is realized.
3.1. Work Principle and Basic Characteristics of Photocell Photodetectors, also called photosensors, are sensors of light or other electromagnetic radiation which are widely used in the digital camera, optical communication, solar cells and other fields, the photocell is a basic unit of semiconductor photoelectric detector.
Volt ampere characteristics When the input light intensity of silicon photocell is constant, the relationship between the output voltage and current of the photocell along with the change of load resistance is called the volt ampere characteristic. Load characteristics The photocell is used as a battery, as shown in figure 3.
The photocell is connected with the resistance R and the ammeter, while the voltmeter is used to measure the voltage across the photocell. The value of R is 200 ohms, the power supply is adjusted clockwise, the illumination regulation knob is increased, and the illuminance value is increased to 500lx.
Using photocell experimental apparatus for data collection and analysis, then handling data by software, you can analyse characteristics of photocell; test results are consistent with the theory. After knowing the characteristics of the photocell, we can build an optical control circuit using photocell.

How Does a Photocell Work
By connecting the photocell in series with a resistor and an LED, you can create a voltage divider circuit that varies the current flowing through the LED based on changes in light intensity. As the resistance of the photocell changes, so does its share of total resistance within the circuit, resulting in different amounts of current reaching the LED and varying its brightness.
