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.
