C7: Arduino Basics & I/O with Tinkercad Circuits
  1. What real-world problem does a smart light solve?
    It saves electricity by turning lights ON only when it’s dark.

  2. What happens when light falls on the LDR?
    Its resistance decreases, so more current flows, and Arduino detects a higher value.

  3. What type of condition triggers the LED to turn on?
    When the environment is dark (low light), the Arduino turns the LED ON automatically.
