1. Definitions of Electronic Circuit Component

• Resistor: A component that limits or controls the flow of electrical


current in a circuit.
• Capacitor: Stores electrical energy and releases it when needed,
commonly used for filtering and energy storage.
• Diode: Allows electrical current to flow in one direction while
blocking it in the opposite direction.
• Transistor: A semiconductor device used to amplify signals or act as
a switch in electronic circuits.
• Integrated Circuit (IC): A compact chip containing multiple
electronic components like transistors, resistors, and capacitors.
• Switch: A device that manually or automatically opens or closes a
circuit to control electrical flow.
• Fuse: A safety device that breaks the circuit if the current exceeds a
safe level, preventing damage.
• Power Supply: Converts electrical energy from a source into the
required voltage and current for a circuit.
• Multimeter: A measuring tool used to check voltage, current, and
resistance in electrical circuits.
• Potentiometer: A variable resistor used to adjust voltage levels,
often found in volume controls.
• LED: A light-emitting diode that produces light when an electric
current passes through it.

3. Explanation of Implementation Steps

I designed a simple LED circuit using a 9V battery, a 350Ω resistor, and an


LED on a breadboard. Here’s why I used each component:

• 9V Battery: Provides the necessary power for the circuit.


• Breadboard: Allows easy connections without soldering.
• LED: A light-emitting diode that turns on when current flows through
it.
• Resistor (350Ω): Limits the current to protect the LED from burning
out.
The circuit is connected as follows:

1. The positive terminal of the battery is connected to the positive rail


of the breadboard.
2. The negative terminal of the battery is connected to the negative
rail of the breadboard.
3. The LED's anode (long leg) is connected to the positive rail through
the 350Ω resistor.
4. The LED's cathode (short leg) is connected to the negative rail,
completing the circuit.

Observations During Testing:

When I tested the circuit, the LED lit up immediately, showing that the
connections were correct. The resistor controlled the current, ensuring the
LED didn’t get too much power. If the resistor were smaller, the LED would
be brighter, but too much current could damage it. If the LED didn’t light
up, I would check the polarity (LED direction) or loose connections.
