DESIGNING SIMPLE CIRCUIT USING TINKERCAD
Components Used
LED
Breadboard Coin Cell Battery (Light Emitting Diode) Resistor
Breadboard
The Breadboard is a prototyping board used to connect components without soldering. Horizontal
rails are used for power distribution, while vertical columns connect components.
Coin Cell Battery
The Coin Cell Battery (CR2032 - 3V) provides power to the circuit. It has a positive (+) terminal
and a negative (-) terminal.
LED (Light Emitting Diode)
The LED (Light Emitting Diode) converts electrical energy into light. It has a longer leg (anode, +)
and a shorter leg (cathode, -). The anode should be connected to the positive voltage.
Resistor
The Resistor limits the current to prevent the LED from burning out.
Steps to Create the Circuit:
Step 1 Open your web browser and search https://www.tinkercad.com.
Step 2 Click Log In (top-right corner) and enter your details if you already have an account, or
click Sign Up to create a new one by following the steps with your email and password.
Step 3 Click on Create (top-right corner of the screen) and select Circuits from the dropdown
menu.
A new circuit design workspace will open.
Step 4 From the right-hand components panel, drag and drop the breadboard onto the
workspace and identify the power rails (red for positive, black for negative).
Step 5 Add a Coin Cell Battery from the components panel by dragging it near the breadboard
and connecting the positive terminal (+) to the positive rail (red) and the negative
terminal (-) to the negative rail (black).
Step 6 Select a Resistor from the components panel, place one leg in the same vertical column
as the LED cathode (shorter leg) on the breadboard.
