Tinkercad is a free-of-charge, online 3D modeling program that runs in a web browser. Since it became available in
2011 it has become a popular platform for creating models for 3D printing as well as an entry-level introduction to
constructive solid geometry in schools.
SIMPLE CIRCUIT
Series, Parallel, LED, R, Multimeter
TASK 1 – BUILD A CIRCUIT

9V Battery
LED
Resistor

- Setup up the circuit

- Change direction/flip/rotate
- Change value
- Run
 What happen to the LED if the resistance is 1 ohm?
Explain.
 Using multimeter – measure Voltage of the resistor. And
find the Current of the circuit
 Add another R and make it series.
TASK 2: SIMPLE PARALLEL CIRCUIT
 Calculate IT , I1 , I2 , - using Ohm’s Law
 Measure IT , I1 , I2 , - using multimeter

 Compare
Task 3: Complex P+S Resistor
With 12 V Battery
1. Calculate the resultant R,
2. Calculate the Total Current
3. Build using Tikercad
4. Find the resultant R and Total Current
5. Calculate I8 and I4,
6. Measure I8 and I4 using multimeter, COMPARE
Task 4 – RC circuit

- 2 Resistor (330 ohm)

- Battery (9V)
- Capacitor (1000 micro F)
- 2 push buttons
- Multimeter
Task 4 – RC circuit

- 2 Resistor (330 ohm)

- Battery (9V)
- Capacitor (1000 micro F)
- 2 push buttons
- Multimeter

1 – Connect Multimeter to the capacitor

2 – Play
3 – Push 1st button
4 – Let Capacitor charge into 9V
5 – Release 1st button and push 2nd button
6 – What happen to the LED?
