This week in Art & Design, I learned a lot about how circuits work. I learned that is very easy to create a working circuit. For example, we simply put the positive side of a 3V battery on the positive wire of the LED and the negative side of the battery against the negative wire and the circuit was completed, and the LED lit up. I also learned that it is very easy to burn an LED out, especially with a 9V battery, because too much voltage enters the LED, and it overloads its relatively small electric capacity. I also learned the resistors make it possible to prevent this. Resistors take the electricity from the 9V battery, or any other battery, and reduce the charge so things that take a low amount of voltage to run, such as LEDs, will not burn out. Resistors were very helpful when  working with the breadboard.

Here are a couple of my circuits:
