Electrical Components in Tinkercad Circuits

Some of the basic electrical components used in Tinkercad are:

Component Image Description

LED An LED (Light Emitting Diode) changes electrical energy
into light. It has a longer leg (anode, +) for the positive
side of the circuit and a shorter leg (cathode, -) for the
negative side.

Light Bulb A light bulb is a component that shows how electricity
flows through a circuit and makes a bulb light up. It helps
to understand how electrical energy is used to create light.

Resistor A resistor helps control the flow of electricity to protect the
parts of the circuit. It is used to change the brightness of
lights or control the speed of motors.
