Relative humidity is the amount of water vapor in air vs. the saturation point of water vapor in air. At the saturation point, water vapor starts to condense and accumulate on surfaces forming dew.<\/p>\n<p>The saturation point changes with air temperature. Cold air can hold less water vapor before it becomes saturated, and hot air can hold more water vapor before it becomes saturated.<\/p>\n<p>The formula to calculate relative humidity is:<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"latex lazyloaded\" title=\"RH = (\\frac{\\rho_{w}}{\\rho_{s}}) \\ x \\ 100 \\% \\\\ \\\\ RH: \\ Relative \\ Humidity \\\\ \\rho_{w}: \\ Density \\ of \\ water \\ vapor\\\\ \\rho_{s}: \\ Density \\ of \\ water \\ vapor \\ at \\ saturation \" src=\"http:\/\/s0.wp.com\/latex.php?latex=RH+%3D+%28%5Cfrac%7B%5Crho_%7Bw%7D%7D%7B%5Crho_%7Bs%7D%7D%29+%5C+x+%5C+100+%5C%25+%5C%5C++%5C%5C++RH%3A+%5C+Relative+%5C+Humidity+%5C%5C++%5Crho_%7Bw%7D%3A+%5C+Density+%5C+of+%5C+water+%5C+vapor%5C%5C++%5Crho_%7Bs%7D%3A+%5C+Density+%5C+of+%5C+water+%5C+vapor+%5C+at+%5C+saturation+&amp;bg=ffffff&amp;fg=000&amp;s=0\" alt=\"RH = (\\frac{\\rho_{w}}{\\rho_{s}}) \\ x \\ 100 \\% \\\\ \\\\ RH: \\ Relative \\ Humidity \\\\ \\rho_{w}: \\ Density \\ of \\ water \\ vapor\\\\ \\rho_{s}: \\ Density \\ of \\ water \\ vapor \\ at \\ saturation \" \/><\/p>\n<p>Relative humidity is expressed as a percentage. At 100% RH, condensation occurs, and at 0% RH, the air is completely dry.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"3.2\">HOW THE DHT11 MEASURES HUMIDITY AND TEMPERATURE<\/h2>\n<p>The DHT11 detects water vapor by measuring the electrical resistance between two electrodes. The humidity sensing component is a moisture holding substrate with electrodes applied to the surface. When water vapor is absorbed by the substrate, ions are released by the substrate which increases the conductivity between the electrodes. The change in resistance between the two electrodes is proportional to the relative humidity. Higher relative humidity decreases the resistance between the electrodes, while lower relative humidity increases the resistance between the electrodes.<\/p>\n<p>The DHT11 measures temperature with a surface mounted NTC temperature sensor (thermistor) built into the unit.<\/p>\n<p>With the plastic housing removed, you can see the electrodes applied to the substrate, an IC mounted on the back of the unit converts the resistance measurement to relative humidity. It also stores the calibration coefficients, and controls the data signal transmission between the DHT11 and the Arduino:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/osoyoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/arduino126-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9077 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/osoyoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/arduino126-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"430\" height=\"257\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"3.3\">Diffrences Between DHT11 and DHT22<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/osoyoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/dht11dht22.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9080 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/osoyoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/dht11dht22.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"642\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h1 id=\"4\">Examples<\/h1>\n<p>Before you can use the DHT11 on the Arduino, you\u2019ll need to install the <a href=\"http:\/\/playground.arduino.cc\/Main\/DHTLib\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DHT library<\/a>.
