BRENT: MAAAAA. MAAAAAA!

KIM: ANO NAK? UMAGANG UMAGA SUMISIGAW KA? ANO NA NAMAN? (galit)

BRENT: MA MAY BAGONG VIDEO SINA BRENT, KIM, AT AEZELLE!

KIM: AY (galit)…. gusto ko yan! (change mood)

BRENT: HI! I’M BRENT

KIM: I’M KIM!

AEZELLE: And I’m AEZELLE!

BRENT: TODAY WE WILL BE TAKING YOU DOWN TO A PATH WHERE CIRCUITS ARE
BASICALLY EVERYWHERE, TINKERCAD!

KIM: AS SEEN IN THE TITLE, WE’RE GOING TO DISCUSS SERIES AND PARALLEL CIRCUITS.
BUT FIRST, WHAT ARE SERIES AND PARALLEL CIRCUITS

AEZELLE: SERIES AND PARALLEL CIRCUIT ARE arrangements of cells or circuit elements in which
groups of two or more in parallel are connected in series.

BRENT : So now, let us make an example. At a blank circuit project we will be placing a 9V battery.
So first, let’s drag our battery from the components drawer. Next, let us drag the components needed to
create a circuit-- an LED, resistor, and the slide switch.

BRENT: Just a quick recap, an LED is used to light up a circuit project. The resistor to ivide the voltages or
the electricity produced by the battery. The slideswitch is used to connect or break the flow of electricity in a
circuit project, so basically it’s an on or off function for the project.

BRENT: Now let us connect the wires. The first positive wire is used to connect the slide switch to our
battery. Then the other positive wire is used to connect the LED to our battery. We also need to connect our
negative wire to the resistor and LED, and all the way back to our slide switch. Lastly, don’t forget to
connect our last wire from the Terminal 1 of our slide switch to our battery. And now, let’s click the start
simulation to see if our circuit works. Okay there, it’s working! This circuit is also an example of a series
circuit. Hmmm, That was quite easy, right?

KIM : Huh now you’re probably thinking that what we’re doing is getting boring. Let’s spice it up then,
shall we? Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Ahuh, you’re also thinking of putting 2 LEDs in our series
circuit? Let’s try it out then. This is just the same process as what Brent did earlier but now, we are dragging
2 LEDs into our project. So first, let’s drag our 9v battery. Then, let’s drag our LEDs, resistor, and the slide
switch. After that, it’s time to connect the wires. The first positive wire is to be connected to our slide switch
and battery. Then, the second one is for our LEDs to connect it with the battery. Next are our negative wires.
We need to connect it to our slide switch and the battery, while the second negative wire is to be connected

💥
to both the LEDs and the resistor all the way to our slide switch. Now, it’s the moment of truth. Let’s make

🥴
sure that this is working. Click the start simulation and poof there, both of our LEDs are lighting up!
And oh, this circuit is still a series circuit by the way .
AEZELLE : Oh no, I think you already know what I'm thinking and you're right. I am thinking about
adding one more LED to our series circuit before moving on to the parallel circuit. Now let’s start by
dragging our 9v battery, our 3 LEDs, resistor, and our slide switch. Again, this is just the same process but
now we’re using 3 LEDs. So, let’s start by dragging the 9v battery, 3 LEDs, resistor, and the slide switch.
And now it’s time to connect the wires. We need to connect terminal 1 of our slide switch to the battery, and
terminal 2 to the other connector of the battery. Next, let’s connect the led to our battery. Then, connect the
LEDs to the resistor to the middle connector of our slide switch. Lastly, let’s click the start simulation, and
poof, poof, poof, it’s working well! Now, I guess we can finally move to our next circuit which is the
parallel circuit.

KIM: But first, let us define a parallel circuit. A parallel circuit is defined as one where all components are
connected between the same set of electrically common points. It has several different paths for the
electricity to travel. Now it’s time to make one. Firstly, we need to search and drag for the 9v battery. Then,
we add the other components like the slide switch, LEDs, and resistor. After that, we connect the wires.
Terminals 1 and 2 of the slide switch should be connected to each side of our battery. Then, we connect the
LEDs to the battery. Lastly, we should connect the LEDs to the resistor all the way down to the middle part
of the slide switch. Let’s make sure that our parallel circuit is working by clicking the start simulation. Do
you see the light coming from the LED? That’s how we can say that our circuit is working properly.

BRENT: In the same circuit, we will be adding other components like the photoresistor and the DC motor.
What are the uses of those two?

BRENT: A photoresistor is to a sensor that changes its resistance when light shines on it. Here in Tinkercad,
if we click onn the photoresistor once, it will pop out a slide bar wherein if we drag it along, the energy that
will flow may either be higher or lower. It’s like in real ife, it’s a solar power.

AEZELLE: The DC motor is a.. (pause) motor.

KIM: We need to connect the wires for it to function. For the right side connector of the dc motor, we’ll
connect it to the right side connector of our battery. Then, for the left side connector of the dc motor, we’ll
connect it with our photoresistor to the left connector of the battery.

AEZELLE: Lastly, let’s click the start simulation button to see if it’s working well.

BRENT: SEE?! It's working!

KIM: Okay, so ig we’re gonna end our video here.

AEZELLE: Thank you for watching!
