Circuits
and IoT
Enumerate the
01 components needed
to create a circuit;
Objectives 02 Differentiate the types of
circuit; and,
At the end of this lesson, you are
expected to:
03 Create a circuit.
Circuit
it is a path that connects
two points from the
negative terminal to
positive terminal of a
power source, allowing
electrical current to flow.
Microcontroller
A microcontroller is a small
computation engine that makes a
decision or system monitoring.
Generally, microcontrollers have
analog and digital input/output
capabilities.
BUS STRIPS
Breadboard
A breadboard also known as
protoboard is a type of solderless DIP SUPPORT
electronic circuit building with an
array of conductive metal clips
encased in a box made of white ABS
plastic, where each clip is
insulated with another clips.
SOCKET STRIPS
LED
LED is light-emitting diode which is Flat spot
a semiconductor light source. It
emits light when current pass Cathode (-) Anode (+)
through it.
Resistor
is an electrical component that
creates resistance in the flow of
electricity in a circuit reducing
current and voltage as a result.
Jumper Wire
used to connect components to
each other on the breadboard and
to the Arduino board.
Types:
• male-to-male
• male-to-female
• female-to-female.
Male ends have a pin protruding
and can plug into things, while
female ends do not and are used to male-to-female
plug things into.
female-to-female male-to-male

there is fault is the electrical wire.
Short
circuit
When both points (+& –) of voltage
source in a circuit gets joint with each
other for some reason then it is called
Short Circuit. Maximum current starts to
flow under this situation. Short circuit
generally happens when the
conducting electrical wires get joint of
even because of shorting in the load.

Transfer task:
Create a series and parallel circuits that has the
following components using tinkercad.
- Microcontroller
- Small breadboard
- 3 LEDs
- 220 resistors
- Connecting wires
