Circuit Monday #9 Fault Finder

Good afternoon folks and welcome to another Circuit Monday todays circuit is Fault Finder

Components needed 

• 1 10k resistor
• 2 leds 
• jumper wires 
• 
  
  

all my Circuits are breadboarded on the prototype board I made here 

Uses for this circuit 

this circuit is really useful for checking for shorts as well checking current flow and a number of other tests .

Step one 

place an led into the board 

Step two

place another led in the reversed orientation to the first   into the board and then connect it to the other led with a jumper wire 

Step three

now connect a jumper wire  to each of the ends of the leds that are not connected to  by  the first jumper wire

Step four

now connect the 10k resistor to the the ends of the jumper wires that we put on the board in the last step and the connect a wire to end of the resistor and to the same row as the first led   

Step five

now the circuit is finished you will see depending on the current flow one of the leds lighting up while the other stays off
