C5: Electronics for Kids

Aim:
 To understand how electricity flows through a complete circuit to make an LED glow.

Materials Required:

  • 1 × 9V Battery

  • 1 × Battery Clip with Wires

  • 1 × LED

  • 1 × 330-ohm Resistor

  • 2 × Jumper Wires

Steps:

  1. Connect one jumper wire from the positive terminal (+) of the battery to one leg of the resistor.

  2. Attach the other end of the resistor to the longer leg of the LED (positive side).

  3. Connect the shorter leg of the LED (negative side) to the negative wire of the battery.

  4. If all connections are correct, the LED should glow.

Working of the Circuit:

Electric current flows from the positive terminal of the battery, through the resistor, into the LED, and back to the negative terminal of the battery.

  • The resistor ensures the current is at a safe level for the LED.

  • If the circuit is incomplete or if the LED is connected in the wrong direction, it will not glow.

  • This shows that both the direction of current and a complete path are important for a circuit to work.
