My Simple Circuit
For my simple circuit I used: 1 small piece of cardboard, 8 brads, 6 paperclips, 2
wires, 1 LED, 2 batteries, 1 resistor, and lots of electrical tape. At first, the batteries that I
used were not connected properly, so my circuit didnt work. Then I tried using wires
instead of paper clips for my connections, and the circuit still didnt work. I tried taking the
resistor out of the circuit, thinking that it was blocking too much current, and the circuit
still didnt work. I finally figured out that the connection between the batteries was bad. I
fixed that by encasing the batteries in tape to hold them together and more securely
attached them to the circuit. My circut now works perfectly and has a working switch.
