    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.
