Problem
My job is to create two types of circuits; a series circuit and a parallel circuit and make them light up an LED. A series circuit is a circuit where resistors are placed to create one path for the current to travel. A parallel circuit is a closed circuit where the current divides in two or more path and meets up to complete the circuit.
Solution
I decided to use two breadboards, LED's, resistors and wires. Each having a different type of circuit and then figuring ways to make the LED light up. I tried multiple ways to make the LED light up, I had problems making it cooperate, but I had to find the correct spots to allow it to light up necase then the current wouldn't go through.
Evidence
Sources
I got some tips from a friend on how to use a breadboard and how to make it easier. I also researched different types of circuits lighting up an LED. Even though I got told by a friend on how to use a breadboard, I decided to do some research myself. I found out that there are positive and negative sides on the board and other information. I used that to create my circuits. It was difficult at first, but once I created the parallel one, I found it easy to create the series circuit. It wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be.
Feedback
I actually enjoyed creating the circuits. I found it interesting on how the breaboard worked and how to find ways to make the LED light up. It took some time, but I managed to complete it. Overall, I learned new things and my products have allowed me to create the new project, a parallel circuit on a breadboard. This is one of the projects I've enjoyed the most in this class next to the hoverboard.
