(a) Working of control circuit-
V- = 5V
V+ = 0.435 V
V+ = 9.93 V
(b)
As soon as it gets darker, the resistance of sensor starts increasing from 100 ohm to 300 kohm.
There will be a situation when for a particular combination of resistance, V+ and V- values will be very near to each other, in that case LED will glow, and since it is not completely dark outside, the sensor might trigger from the brightness of LED itself, and send signal to comparator to turn off as discussed in part a, so the cycle of on off may start in case of not completely dark atmosphere.
The solution to overcome this problem can be by providing isolation between switch and output of comparator in the form of resistance, so that when the signal voltages at input of Op Amp are very near to each other, the trigger signal to switch drops in the resistance,and only when there is a sufficient difference between two inputs is there, the switch will be turned ON.
