Introduction

Welcome to "Circuit Construction Steps for Beginners." My name is Troy Sieusankar. I have developed this portal to introduce newcomers to the field of electricity and electronics. This online guide will begin with a list of required material and parts, and with the basic explanation on the operation of a simple circuit. This guide will take you step by step through the construction of the simple circuit. More advanced types of circuit construction techniques, components, and processors, will be explained at the end.

Parents and fellow teachers please feel free to comment on any discrepancy that you discover. All comments are welcome, no matter the topic or concern. Give your input and suggestions as you see appropriate. Electricity is dangerous and there has been accidents in the past, some students were hurt while experimenting with circuit construction.

CAUTION!
Electricity should always be respected. There is always the risk of being shocked or electrocuted, by making physical contact with conductors of an electric circuit, and the risk of being burnt, by creating short-circuits. Parents should supervise all young children as they attempt the step-by-step procedures or start experimenting with electricity. More details about safety will be given as this guide progresses, and all precautionary measures should be obeyed.

Note to parents:
This guide introduces my students to topics that are important in understanding electricity and circuits. Participation in the step-by-step procedures will be supervised by me during class, and all parents should supervise all circuit construction activities during off school hours. At the completion of this guide: my students should feel comfortable with discussing topics on electricity, be able to design their own simple circuits, and have the foundation for advancing onto more advanced circuit construction.
