spring terminal 2 and 12. This is an example for reference only, not an exact circuit connection in the
experiment.
If the circuit does not work, you can check the wire and spring terminal connection whether it is not well
connected or insulated plastic part of a wire is inserted to spring terminal.
10. Component characteristic
In this experiment kit, you will learn basic circuit theory, characteristic of capacitor, IC (Integrated
Circuit), LED (Light Emitting Diode), light sensor, resistor and transistor. You can learn that when
transistor and capacitor work together, various light and sound effects can be made in different circuit
connections.
Capacitor is a device consists of two conductors that are separated by an insulator. It is designed for
storing electrical charge or as a filter in a circuit. It is a commonly used component in electronic and
electrical circuits as an energy storage device or as a filter device to filter out electronic noisy or useless
frequency signals. There are various types of capacitor which are designed for different electronic /
electrical circuit applications.
Electrolytic Capacitor Circuit symbol
IC (Integrated Circuit) is a small electronic device made of semiconductors and is used for a variety of
devices, including microprocessors, electronic equipment and automobiles. IC is made by a large number
of transistors into a "chip" (silicon). It is now a critical and commonly used component in a wide variety
of applications from toys, household products to state-of-the-art equipment.
Integrated Circuit
LED (Light Emitting Diode) is a diode which emits light when electric current passes through it. LED
has various light colors which depend on what kind of semi-conducting materials are used. It is a
commonly used device in household and vehicle lighting appliance.
