What is a circuit?
A closed path that allows electricity to flow from a power source, through various components, and back to the source.
What is the flow of current in a circuit?
Current flows from the positive terminal of the power source to the negative terminal.
What must a circuit have for it to function?
A closed loop.
List the steps to wire a circuit.
- Identify the power source (e.g., Arduino or battery)
- Connect components like LEDs, resistors, or buzzers
- Use wires to link all components in a closed loop
- Ensure current flows through each component in the correct order.
What is a breadboard?
A tool for building and testing circuits without soldering.
What are the horizontal rows on a breadboard typically used for?
Power (red for positive, blue for negative).
What do the vertical rows in the middle of a breadboard do?
Connect components and wires.
What is the first step to connect a breadboard and Arduino?
Connect the Arduino’s GND pin to the negative rail (blue line) on the breadboard.
What is the second step to connect a breadboard and Arduino?
Connect the Arduino’s 5V pin to the positive rail (red line) on the breadboard.
Fill in the blank: The horizontal rows at the top and bottom of a breadboard are typically used for _______.
[power].
What should you do after placing components like LEDs or buzzers on the breadboard?
Use wires to complete the circuit between the Arduino pins and the components.
