Summary of the Circuit
The circuit described by the provided inputs is a simple LED circuit with a power source, a switch, and a current-limiting resistor. The circuit uses a 9V battery to power a red LED. A rocker switch is used to control the power flow to the LED, allowing the user to turn the LED on and off. A resistor is included in series with the LED to limit the current and prevent damage to the LED.
Component List
9V Battery
- Description: A standard 9V battery used as the power source for the circuit.
LED: Two Pin (red)
- Description: A red light-emitting diode (LED) that emits light when powered.
- Purpose: To emit light when the circuit is powered and the switch is closed.
Rocker Switch
- Description: A simple on-off switch that can open or close the circuit.
- Purpose: To allow the user to control the power flow to the LED.
Resistor
- Description: A passive component used to limit the current through the LED.
- Properties: 1000 Ohms resistance.
- Purpose: To prevent excessive current from flowing through the LED, which could potentially damage it.
