                            CREATING A SERIES CIRCUIT USING TINKERCAD

                     To build a series circuit, use LEDs, a resistor and a battery to create a series connection. To begin,
                     open a new circuit window in Tinkercad and start building your circuit by placing the following
                     components: a 9V battery, two LEDs and a resistor.

                     To create a series circuit, follow the given steps:

                     Step   1    Click on the Project Name and rename your project (Series Circuit).

                     Step   2    Connect the negative terminal of the 9V battery to one leg of the resistor.
                     Step  3     Connect the other leg of the resistor to the cathode of the first LED.

                     Step   4    Connect the anode of the first LED to the cathode of the second LED.

                     Step  5     Connect the anode of the second LED to the positive terminal of the 9V battery.

                     Step  6     Click on Start Simulation to test the circuit.

                                                                                      Simulate a parallel circuit using
                                                                                      two LEDs connected to the same
                                                                                      power source. Compare it with
                                                                                       a series circuit to observe how
                                                                                          current flows differently.

                     The output  shows the LEDs lighting  up, indicating that  the circuit  is
                     correctly connected and functioning as expected.

                                                                                                                      165
                                                                                         Designing Circuits with Tinkercad
