The Pushbutton
Lesson 2 Troubleshooting and Measurements Link to digital lesson www.ien.edu.sa To begin, we will build a circuit that includes a power source, an LED, and a pushbutton. Let us examine how the pushbutton works. The Pushbutton The pushbutton serves as a temporary connection. It has a large circle in the center that closes the circuit. There are four connectors on the pushbutton. Each corner of the button has a connector. Looking at the underside, we can see that the left and right connectors are actually two wires. There is one wire on each side of the button. Looking at the pushbutton from the front, we can see that it hovers over the two wires with a spring. The spring is not visible in the illustration. Electric current cannot flow through the circuit when the pushbutton is above the wires. In the illustration, the electric current is represented by the red dashed arrow pointing up. ] } The circuit closes when the pushbutton is pressed, and current flows from one side of the pushbutton to the other. Looking from the side, when we connect a circuit to the ends of one wire on one side of the switch, that wire inside the switch allows current to flow even when the button is not pressed. When connecting components, we must ensure that they are connected to opposing sides of the switch. As shown in the illustration on the right, a connection can be made at diagonally opposite ends. A connection can also be made at neighboring opposite ends, as shown in the image on the left. It is critical to connect the correct ends of the pushbutton to ensure that the circuit works properly. A pushbutton on a circuit is typically used to open and close the circuit. We will use the same circuit as in the previous lesson, but this time we will add a pushbutton. This is the previous lesson's circuit: وزارة التعليم Ministry of Education 134 2024-1446 AA 1.5V Figure 4.17: Circuit with battery and LED
Looking from the side,
It is critical to connect the correct ends of the pushbutton to ensure that the circuit works properly.
To add a pushbutton to the circuit: > On the components panel, click Pushbutton. 1 > Click and place the pushbutton on the breadboard so that one end is in Row f, and the other end is in Row e. ② Exercise1 1.5V + 44 Pushbutton Name 2 + fghij e 2 Figure 4.18: Add a pushbutton to the circuit All changes saved Start Simulation Send To S KA Code Components Basic Search LED 1 Pushbutton Potentiometer Capacitor Slideswitch 9V The diagonal terminals in this switch represent the switch's opposite ends. This indicates that current will flow from e5 to f3. The pushbutton will be included in the closed circuit. Placing the pushbutton on f3, one end of the connector forms part of our closed circuit. Keep in mind that everything in a numbered column is linked. This means that the pushbutton is wired to one end of the LED and the jumper wire running from j3 is wired to the negative rail. We must move the jumper wire from the positive terminal to the opposite side of the pushbutton. This will complete the circuit. وزارة التعليم Ministry of Education 2024-1446 135

Troubleshooting Circuit simulation is a technique where we simulate the behavior of an electronic circuit or a whole system with the assistance of a software application. New designs can be tested, evaluated and diagnosed without physically constructing the circuit. Through simulation, we can also troubleshoot and gather data before building a real prototype with electronic components. This allows the engineer to determine the correctness and efficiency of a design beforehand. The engineer may also explore alternative designs without using any physical components, at no cost and much faster than with a real prototype. There is an infinite quantity of simulated components available to build and test alternative designs. Like other electronic circuits, LED circuits are very sensitive to current. An LED burns out if more current flows than its rated current, for example 20mA. An appropriate resistor must be used to protect the LEDs, or the whole circuit, from burning out. Tinkercad Circuits shows you if more than the rated current flows through the circuit elements when you run the simulation. The program alerts you by showing a red star on top of the component that has a problem. + 9V Figure 4.21: Simulation with a current issue وزارة التعليم Ministry of Education 2024-1446 Hover over the red star for an explanation of the problem. Current through the LED is 915 mA, while absolute maximum is 20.0 mA. 139
Troubleshooting
Now let's go back to the electronic circuit that we have constructed with a battery, an LED and a pushbutton. We want to test if the circuit works properly. When we simulate the circuit and press the pushbutton, we observe that the LED does not light up.

Circuits with Resistors In this part of the lesson, we will create two identical circuits in the same workspace of Tinkercad Circuits: one without the breadboard and one with the breadboard. We will use these circuits later in the lesson to gain a better understanding of current, resistance and voltage. In both cases, we will build a simple LED circuit with a battery, an LED and a resistor. First we will design an LED circuit without the breadboard. We have to go to the Tinkercad dashboard by clicking on the Tinkercad logo, and create a new circuit. Create a new circuit: > From the components panel, click on Resistor, 1 and place it on the workplane. 2 > From the inspector panel of the resistor set the Resistance to 470.3 > Click on the LED, 4 and place it on the workplane. 5 > Click on the 1.5V Battery, 6 and place it on the workplane. 7 > From the inspector panel, of the 1.5V Battery, set the Count to 2 batteries to supply the circuit with 3V. 8 > Wire up the circuit, 9 and start the simulation. The circuit has a 3V battery, and an LED with a forward voltage (voltage drop) of approximately 2.06V. The LED's ideal forward current is 20mA. To calculate the resistor value in ohms, we use the formula R = (Vsource - Vdrop) / Iforward which tell us that the resistance has to be 479.

To continue, we will design an LED circuit on a breadboard. Go to the Tinkercad dashboard by clicking on the Tinkercad logo, and create a new circuit. Create a new circuit: > From the components panel, click on Breadboard Small, 1 place it on the workplane and rotate it. 2 > Click on Resistor, 3 place it on the breadboard and rotate it. 4 > From the inspector panel of the resistor set the Resistance to 470. 5 > Click on the LED, 6 place it on the breadboard and rotate it. ⑦ > Click on the 1.5V Battery, 8 place it on the workplane, rotate it and from the inspector panel of the 1.5V Battery, set the Count to 2 batteries to supply the circuit with 3V. 9 Exercise 1 From the screen to the lab. After simulating the circuit and testing that everything works as expected, you can implement the circuit with real components. A practical circuit can be implemented on a breadboard to make a prototype for display. The main advantage of the breadboard circuit is that you can easily make modifications, and no soldering is required. However, breadboard connections can become loose very easily, and it is very hard to identify loose connections in a complex circuit. علاقات ليم Ministry of Education 146 2024-1446 2 Breadboard Small Name 1 All changes saved 非 Code Start Simulation Send To > Components Basic Search Capacitor Slideswitch 9V Battery Coin Cell 3V 1 1.5V Battery Breadboard Small micro:bit Arduino Uno R3

وزارة التعليم Ministry of Education 150 2024-1446 Using a Multimeter Now that we have a working circuit, we can take some measurements with the virtual multimeter of Tinkercad Circuits. Note that the multimeter has three modes. By default, it functions as a voltmeter in voltage mode, which allows us to read the voltages across different components in our circuit. We can easily change the mode of the multimeter by clicking on it to open the inspector panel and selecting a different mode. In current mode it functions as an ammeter, allowing us to read the current flowing through certain points in our circuit. In resistance mode it functions as an ohmmeter, allowing us to read the resistance between certain points in our circuit. To read voltages: > From the components panel, click on the 1.5V Battery, 1 and place it on the workplane. 2 > From the inspector panel of the 1.5V Battery set the Count to 2 batteries to supply the circuit with 3V. 3 > From the components panel, click on the Multimeter, 4 and place it on the workplane. 5 > Wire up the circuit. 6 > Click Start Simulation. 7 Use the Notes tool from the main toolbar to add annotations to a design. The same icon appears in the design and you can drag and drop it onto a component you want to annotate.
