Types of Circuit

Electric circuits can be connected in different ways. The two main types of circuit are:
1. Series Circuit: In series circuit, components are connected one after
another in a single path. The current flows through each component one by
one. If one component stops working, the whole circuit stops. For example,
old-style string lights, where one bulb going off turns off all lights.

2. Parallel Circuit: In parallel circuit, components are connected in separate
paths, so electricity can flow through multiple paths. If one component stops
working, others continue to work. For example, modern home wiring, where
lights and fans work independently.

STARTING WITH TINKERCAD CIRCUITS

Tinkercad Circuits is an online simulator that lets you design and test electronic circuits without
real components. You can connect parts to create interactive projects.
To open Tinkercad Circuits, go to Tinkercad in your browser and click the Create button on the
right side of the screen. From the dropdown menu, choose Circuits. This will open the Tinkercad
Circuits workspace where you can design and simulate electronic projects.

Components of a Tinkercad Circuits

The components of Tinkercad circuits interface are as follows:
Project name: This shows the name of your project in Tinkercad. You can click on it to give
your project a new name.

Toolbar: The Toolbar has tools and buttons that help you work with your circuit. You can use
it to move, rotate, delete parts or change wire colors and types.

Code: This is where you can write or use block code to control your circuit. You can make lights
blink, motors move or buzzers sound using code.
Start/Stop Simulation: Click this button to start your circuit and see how it works. Click it
again to stop the circuit.
