A breadboard originally was a flat wooden cutting board used to support a loaf of bread (or other foods) while it was being sliced; this original meaning is still in use, but has a new additional meaning as “a base for prototyping”. from wikipedia Internally, breadboard is electrically connected in this way (pink line) Here […]
An electrical circuit is any arrangement that permits an electrical current to flow. A basic circuit consists of a battery, a lamp and two connection wires. A series circuit includes more than one component. Series circuit is formed when current flowing through one component first flows through another. in other words… Imagine that electricity is […]
A parallel circuit is formed when two or more components are connected so current can flow through one component without having first to flow through another. in other words.. imagine that electricity is a big river. In a parallel circuit the river is divided equally. Each house is provided with the same amount of […]
