Introduction to Simple Circuits
Let's learn the basics of LEDs and motors in simple circuits, exploring how
LEDs emit light and how motors convert electrical energy into motion to power
various devices.
LED (Light Emitting Diode)
• LEDs are small electronic device that
emit light when an electric current passes
through them.
• LEDs have two leads (terminal): the longer lead is the positive (anode) and
the shorter lead is the negative (cathode).
• LED come in various colours.
Motor
A motor is a compact device that converts
electrical energy into kinetic motion. Think
of it as a miniature power source that drives
machinery. You will commonly find motors in
toys, fans, and advance robots. When electricity flows through a motor, it
rotates, generating a range of movements like wheels turning or fans spinning.
