Motor

+ Example 1

A simple circuit with no switch. It is on all the time. It is called a series circuit.

+ Example 2

A simple circuit but instead oftwo lines of bulbs, it has only one. It is called a parallel circuit.

+ Example 3

A circuit with a small cell of 1.5 Volts. As the others, it doesn´t have a switch. We can see how the bulb is less illuminated due to the presence of a battery of smaller power.

+ Example 4

A circuit with a battery and a switch which closes the circuit.

+ Example 5

A circuit with no switch and lots of batteries (8 exactly). It doesn’t appreciate, but with that energy, the bulb use to explote.

+Example 6

Here, a circuit with a push switch. As the switch is not pushed, the bulb is not illuminated, but if pushed, then it will illuminate a lot as it is a battery of great size.

+ Example 7

A complex circuit with lots of connectors and all of that. It is difficult because you have to be exact in where will the current go and if it is going on the right circuit.

+Example 8

A circuit with several bulbs and a main switch. It is a circuit usually used in places like classrooms and that.

+Example 9

A push switch and a buzzer, a circuit similar to the ones of the bell in the door.

+ Example 10

A circuit with three LED bulbs, where, in the application, you can see that they spend much less energy than other bulbs. A series circuit.

+ Example 11

Here there’s a silly circuit with 15 batteries. In reality, the bulb would explode.

+ Example 12

This is a parallel circuit with a simple battery and a simple SPST switch.

+ Example 13

Here there’s a circuit with a molten fuse due to the exagerated amount of energy passing through the current. During the animation, I saw how it broke and melt.

+ Example 14

Here there’s a circuit with a variable resistor. It is better than the fuse and it doesn’t melt that easy. It also makes energy to flow slower and the bulb to iluminate less.

+ Example 15

Here there’s a circuit with a normal fuse. It is even better as it doesn’t melt, and it makes the bulb to not illuminate.

+ Example 16

This is a really strange circuit, and it is not find easily. Each element is separated from each other, making the circuit to be much bigger than necessary.

+ Example 17

This is a system with a buzzer like the one in the doors. In this case, it has more battery than normal.

+ Example 18

Here there are many LED bulbs with other bulbs. They need lots of battery so that they work perfectly.

+ Example 19

This is a multiple circuit with lots of bulbs and LED bulbs. There are also lots of batteries as they have to illuminate lots of bulbs, some of them of high consume.

+ Example 20

Here, there are many buzzers, with a normal switch where the buzzers are sounding all the time if it is on. Only one battery.

+ Example 21

This is a simple circuit with a motor and a battery. Easy to make. The motor is moving all the time with non-stop.

+ Example 22

This is the same circuit as the other, with a motor and a 9V battery, but this has a switch.

+ Example 23

This circuit is one of the most complex I made. Three icons, two motors and one motor. The circuit is so complex because those elements are really difficult to put together in the same circuit, making the current to pass correctly where it has to pass.

+ Example 24

This is a parallel circuit, with four bulbs, two of them LED. A swich and a battery.

+ Example 25

This one has three batteries which give lots of energy to the motor, so that it moves faster.

+ Example 26

This is a really simple circuit with no switch or things like that. Just a buzzer and a battery.

+ Example 27

Here, there’s a molten fuse, because of the energy that the four batteries make.

+ Example 28

This is a circuit with a simple diagram. The only difference is that the icons are organized in different order .

+ Example 29

Here there are two circuits, the first one has the resistor lower, so more energy enters to the bulb.

In the second, the resistor is higher, so the energy illuminates practically nothing the bulb.

1.

2.

+ Example 30

Here, it is not appreciated, but the buzzer should sound practically nothing as the resistor is high.

+ Example 31

This is a parallel circuit, composed of two lines, each line with two bulbs. The energy of both lines come from the same battery, and they are both controlled by the same switch.

+ Example 32

Another parallel circuit, but this time it has only one bulb per line.

+ Example 33

This is a series circuit, with curved connectors. No switch, so they are turned on all the time.

+ Example 34

This looks like a circuit, but it is not a circuit. They are four circuits. If you see with detail, nothing is connected except each bulb with its battery.

+ Example 35

This looks like a circuit, but its 6 circuits. A motor, a bulb, a buzzer, and three LED bulbs (red, green and yellow).
