| style="height:20px; width:200px; text-align:center;" |In this [[Circuit Diagram|circuit diagram]] the [[light]] intensity is low, which causes the [[Electrical Resistance|resistance]] of the '''LDR''' to be high. As a result the [[Potential Difference|potential difference]] across the [[electrical bulb|lamp]] will be high (5.9V) and the [[Electrical Current|current]] through the [[Electrical Bulb|lamp]] will be large. So in dim [[light]] the [[Electrical Bulb|lamp]] will remain unlitlit.
