How do I test if there is a gap in my circuit
using the side ways wifi symbol on the multimeter to test continuity.
I made a flashlight and surrounded all sides with copper tape. I added my battery plus side up and had the longer leg of the LED on the side of the battery. I added a paper clip to touch both sides but it didn't work :( why not?
(2 reasons)
the copper tape is touching on the sides
The battery/LED is oriented wrong
Conductors are objects/materials that conduct electricity and allow electricity to flow through them. Semi-Conductors only allow some electricity to flow through them, this allows the circuit to not be overloaded by voltage.
What is the difference between Static and Current electricity? Examples?
Static is generated through friction (rubbing ruler or socks etc). Current electricity is generated via a circuit and power source like a battery.
