Circuit Documentation

Summary of the Circuit

This circuit is a simple pushbutton-controlled LED lighting system powered by a 9V battery. When the pushbutton is pressed, the circuit is completed, allowing current to flow from the battery through a resistor and then through the LED, causing it to light up. The resistor is used to limit the current to a safe level for the LED.

Component List

9V Battery

• Description: A standard 9V battery used as the power source for the circuit.

Resistor

• Description: A passive two-terminal electrical component that implements electrical resistance as a circuit element.
• Resistance: 320 Ohms

Pushbutton

• Description: A simple switch mechanism for controlling some aspect of a machine or a process. It has four pins: two for the input side and two for the output side.

LED: Two Pin (red)

• Description: A red light-emitting diode (LED) that emits light when a current flows through it in the forward direction.
