# Phototransistor Effect Verifictation Using LED & Arduino

## Introduction:


## So what is Phototransistor ?

### A phototransistor is a semiconductor device that converts light into an electrical current. It consists of a p-type transistor with its base electrode doped to allow current. (also known as a light-sensitive resistor or light-dependent resistor) is an electrically controlled resistor that changes its resistance in response to incident light


## Material Required


  • Arduino UNO R3

  • Breadboard

  • LED

  • Wires

## Experiment:-

### In this Experiment We use an LED to understand how an Phototrasistor work . And due to lack of Equipment like Multimeter we use Arduino UNO R3 & program it to use it as a Voltmeter & ammeter, to Measure the Volt & current acroos the LED when a Light fall into the LED.

[ Check the Arduino code Here ](./code.ino)

### We connect the anode side of the LED in the Digital PIN .no of 13 of the Arduino and cathode side to Ground.

### Make sure to hold you Phone Torch above the LED Properly

### Then We get the output in the Serial Monitor of Arduino IDE, the Voltage & current measured when incident light fall on the LED is displayed over in Serial Monitor.

### the varitation are over here in Voltage & current by changing the Density (Brightness) of the incident light(in this case Phone Torch) to test & make sure that the correct voltage & current is displayed. Also to check the voltage & Current on diffrent density of light.
