Q. In the circuit below, the light dependent resistor (LDR) receives light from the LED. The LDR has resistances of 5 k W and 500 W under dark and illuminated conditions, respectively.

(A) turns ON when S1 is closed and remains ON after S1 is opened<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(B) turns ON when S1 is closed and turns OFF after S1 is opened<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0(C) turns ON when S1 is closed and toggles periodically from ON to OFF after S1 is opened<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(D) remains OFF when S1 is closed and continues to remain OFF after S1 is opened<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ans: Turns ON when\u00a0S1\u00a0is closed and remains ON after\u00a0S1\u00a0is opened<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sol: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When switch\u00a0S1\u00a0is closed, a conducting path will be formed from\u00a0Vcc\u00a0to ground irrespective of the operating condition of the BJT.
So, LED turns ON. In this situation, LDR will have a resistance of 500\u00a0\u03a9. Voltage at the inverting terminal of the op-amp is,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So, \u00afS will be at logic – LOW and \u00afR will be at logic -HIGH. It pulses Q to logic-HIGH, which cause to flow some current into the base terminal of the BJT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When switch S1 is opened after 1 ms: Now, let us assume that LED is in OFF state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To check the validity of this assumption, we have to check whether current is flowing into the base terminal of the BJT.
When LED is in OFF state, LDR will have a resistance of 5 k\u03a9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So, \u00afS will be at logic – HIGH and \u00afR will be at logic -HIGH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It pulses Q to be in previous state (i.e., logic-HIGH). This makes the transistor to be in ON state and in turn LED will be in ON state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, our assumption is wrong, i.e., the LED will not be in OFF state after S1 is opened. Hence LED will be in ON state both during the switch S1 is closed and after it is opened.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
