How to assemble an electrical circuit?

Absolutely any electrical device can be connected to power only through a linear or parallel connection. When the elements are connected in parallel, the current runs in several directions at once. In other words, each element in the circuit has its own power circuit. The most important feature of parallel connection is ease of use. If any element from the circuit burns, then we will quickly determine it and replace it, because when one element breaks down, the current does not stop flowing to the other. Also, a number of devices do not cause power drops. Experience in the assembly of electrical circuits is very useful for understanding the principles of electric current. How to assemble an electric circuit yourself? Let's try to figure it out.

Create an electrical circuit

When carrying out the project, the age and experience of the person who will do this should be taken into account. Such tasks can serve as a good and interesting experiment for high school students studying the laws of electric current distribution. This method can serve as a basis for a person who takes up the assembly of the chain for the first time.

The experiment itself can be classified into two different types of conduct.

We use foil to create

In order to assemble the electrical circuit at home, you will need to do the following:

• Get a power source. The most economical and common option is the most ordinary battery.

Important! You can take a nine volt battery for such a task.

• Find the electrical devices that will be used during the experiment. You will connect these components to the power source.

Important! Our example requires two incandescent bulbs or conductive diodes.

• You need to take care of the conductors. Today, aluminum foil will be used as a conductor. It is through this foil that electric current will be supplied from the battery to the consumers.
• Cut the foil into four narrow strips: two pieces of 20 centimeters and two pieces of 10 centimeters.

Important! Their width should correspond to the diameter of the drinking tub.

• Genuine bands must be connected to the batteries. One with a plus, and the other with a minus, respectively.
• Now it’s worth thinking about connecting consumers of electricity. You need to take the two remaining conductors and wind one end on a 20-centimeter conductor. One of the strips should be attached near the end of a long “wire”, and the second strip - 7-8 centimeters closer to the battery. Wrap the free ends of the short “wires” around the bulbs.

Important! If you can’t fix it qualitatively, then use electrical tape.

• If you avoid breaking the circuit, then when all the elements are connected, the bulbs should light up. Try to touch the incandescent bulbs of the second long conductor, which comes from the minus of the battery - the bulbs will light up even brighter.

You have learned how to make an electrical circuit using aluminum foil. Let's try other methods.

We use wires and a switch

This project is a complicated variation of the first. Even here there should not be any difficulties, since such a task is very simple. The only thing you need is the presence of wires and a key (switch). Such a lesson will bring good experience to those users who only comprehend the basics.

Important! This method requires stripping the ends of the wires. Be careful in your actions.

Work order:

• First you need to prepare everything you need to create this project. You should find the following: a battery, conductors, a key, and at least two energy consumers.

Important! For a power source, a 9 volt battery is again perfect, and you can easily find a switch in any household goods store.

• It is best to find a copper wire to transfer current. Cut it into several pieces of not very long length.

Important! For the whole scheme, you can take 70 centimeters.

• In this method, bulbs will be used again, but no one bothers you to take a consumer of a different kind.
• We will prepare the wires: cut the wire into five identical pieces with dimensions of 20 centimeters each. It is necessary to remove 2 cm of insulation from each of their ends.

Important! A stripper is perfect for such manipulations, but its absence can be compensated by simple scissors or wire cutters.

• Connect the first consumer to the power source. To do this, you need to connect one of the wires with its plus, and connect the other end to one of the used bulbs.
• Now you need to attach the key to the nutrient. Use one of the remaining pieces of wire to connect. Connect its end to the minus of the source, and connect the second to the switch.
• The switch itself must be connected to the first light bulb using another piece of conductor. Connect the end of the wire to the key, and then to the right side of the first consumer.
• We take the second lamp, with the help of the last piece of wire we attach it on the left side to the first light bulb, and from the second - to the left side of the other light bulb.
• With the last remaining conductor, connect the right side of the first bulb and the right side of the second bulb. The chain is ready.
• It remains to close the key and observe how the two lights begin to glow.

Now you know how to make an electrical circuit in two different ways. Such experiments help to understand the essence of physical processes and provide experience in future work with electrical circuits.

Recommendations

For 100% fixation, you can use electrical tape or a soldering iron.

Important! The use of the latter requires you basic skills in handling a soldering iron. Do not hand the device to those who do not understand how to handle it.

Warnings

In order to maintain their health and financial condition, one should adhere to the following basic safety rules:

1. In no case do not carry out any manipulations with high voltage and high amperage if you do not have adequate protection from the damaging effects.
2. During stripping, you need to carefully monitor whether you damaged the wire itself. The best tool for this is a stripper.
3. Be especially careful with consumers of electric current if you use light bulbs as them. Such items are very fragile and careless handling can result in cuts or electric shock.
