The light-sensitive switch

Product No: P1376000

Principle

Provided that the students are familiar with the characteristics of photoresistors and the construction and functioning of electromagnetic relays, this would be a good opportunity for the students to come up with a constructive theoretical answer to the initial question previous to the experiment and then carry out the experiment to confirm their hypothesis.
The second part of the experiment is not essential to understand the functioning of twilight switches. It is, however, recommended as a starting point for discussing further applications for relays and for reinforcing the students' knowledge of various applications (as an opening and a closing contact).

Task

How does an automatic street lighting work?

Construct a model for automatic street lighting (twilight switch) using a relay and a photoresistor.
