4. Interfacing with LEDs ✨

LED switch

🔵 An LED Circuit with 1 Resistor, 1 LED, and a Slide Switch is a basic electronic setup that allows you to turn on and off the LED. Here’s a brief overview of each component and their interaction:

🔌 Completing the Circuit: Once you’ve connected the components together, the circuit is complete and electricity will flow through it.

🔛 “On” Position: When you slide the switch to the “on” position, the LED will light up.

🔘 “Off” Position: When you slide the switch to the “off” position, the LED will turn off.
