Resistors
Various resistor values are supplied. They serve ascurrent limiters or as voltage dividers. Resistors do nothave a polarity. Resistors values are indicated bymeans of coloured rings. The unit of resistance is called’Ohm’. ( see colour code table in the package)

for a dangerous situation, timer confirmation,a button is pressed, ... The pitch of the buzzercan't be changed because the frequency ofthe oscillator is fixed. (Velleman part# SV3)
Push button
A push button will conduct currentwhen pushed and interrupt thecurrent when released.
(Velleman part# D6)

Transistors A transistor is an amplification device. By means of a smallcurrent, a much larger current is controlled. Transistors come intwo flavours, NPN and PNP-types, depending on the polarity.With this kit, you receive a BC557 (PNP) and a BC547 (NPN)
transistor. A transistor has 3 pins: Base, Emitter and Collector.(Velleman part# BC557B, BC547B)

Required parts: 9V battery*, 1000 ohm resistor (brown black red ), red LED,
push-button
How it works: As long as the push button ispressed, a closed circuit is formed that makes the
current flow and the LED lights up.Current flows from the (+) of the battery to thepush-button, resistor, (+) of the LED and via the (-)of the LED back to the battery.
Using a 1000ohm resistor the current will be about0.007A (7mA).
Time to experiment: What happens when you swap (+) and (-) of the led?What happens when you replace the 1000 ohm resistorwith a 100K ohm resistor (brown black yellow gold) ?
Calculation of the resistor:
resistor = battery voltage – LED voltageLED current
resistor = 9V - 1,8V = 1000ohm0,007

How it works: An alarm sounds when thenormally closed security circuit (here
indicated as ‘WIRE’) is interrupted.Replace this normally closed circuit(WIRE) by a normally closed window ordoor switch; when e.g. the window isopened the contact within the windowswitch is interrupted, the security circuit isopened and the buzzer sounds.The alarm signal ends as soon as thesecurity circuit is closed again.

Required parts: 9V battery*, 1K resistor (brown black red gold), 2x 10K resistor
(brown black orange gold), red LED, BC547 transistor, LDR.
How it works: A LED lights up when enough
light hits the LDR. The LDR is a light sensitiveresistor (Light Dependent Resistor), in darkconditions it has a high resistance, and in lightconditions its resistance becomes low.
Across the LDR is a positive potential which isfed to the base of the transistor enabling it toswitch. Resistor R2 creates a switching pointwhich determines when the transistor starts toconduct. Resistor R1 limits the current that
flows through the LDR.

Required parts: 9V battery*, 1K resistor (brown black red gold), red LED, green LED,
wire jumper
How it works: When the 9V battery isconnected to the circuit with the right
polarity the green LED (good) will lightup. Current can flow from the "+" of thebattery through the green LED and viathe resistor back to the "–" of the battery.
The red LED (wrong) will not light up as itis polarised in the opposite direction.When swapping the connection of thebattery (switch the red and the blackwires) the red LED will light up. This way
we can determine whether a battery isconnected the right way or not.

Required parts: 9V battery*, 3 x1K resistor (brown black red gold), 10K resistor
(brown black orange gold), red LED, 2 x push-button, 1x BC547 transistor, 1x BC557transistor, 5 x wire jumper
How it works: The “START” button willlight up the LED; it will remain on when
the pushbutton is released. To switch offthe LED, press the “STOP” button.T1 and T2 are in state of rest (OFF, nocurrent). By pressing the “START” but-ton a current flows via R4 through the
LED. At the same time the base of T2 ispulled low (was high via R1). Since thevalue of R3 is much lower than R1 thevoltage on the base of T2 drops makingit conduct and via the collector of T2 and
R2. T1 also starts to conduct. From this point on, both transistors keep each other in con-ducting state, even when the “START” button is released. Pressing the “STOP” button willend the current flow towards the base of T1 and it will stop conducting. The circuit is inter-rupted and T2 will also stop conducting. The LED will turn off.

Required parts: 9V battery*, 1K resistor (brown black red gold), 100K resistor (brown
black orange gold), 1M resistor (brown black green gold), Red LED, push-button, 2xBC547 transistor, 10µF electrolytic capacitor, 3 x wire jumper
How it works: When pushing the pushbutton shortly, the LED will turn on and aftera while it will go out. By pushing the pushbutton the capacitor will quickly charge; whenreleasing the button the capacitor will releaseits stored energy via both transistors – bothwill start to conduct and the LED will light up.The current needed to make T2 conduct islimited as T1 and T2 form a Darlington tran-sistor circuit. The time needed to dischargethe capacitor is also determined by resistor
R1. The smaller R1 the faster the capacitor isdischarged and the LED switches off. WhenR1 is removed, the capacitor dischargessolely via the base current of T1. Switchingoff is a lot slower now and takes ± 1 minute. The total gain of both transistors can be calculated: ß = ß(T1) x ß(T2)
In electronics, the Darlington circuit is astructure consisting of two bipolar
transistors connected in such a waythat the current amplified by the firsttransistor is amplified further by the
second one. This configuration gives amuch higher current gain than each
transistor taken separately.

Required parts: 9V battery, 10K resistor (brown black orange gold), 470K resistor
(yellow purple yellow gold), buzzer, 2x BC547 transistor, 2 wires
How it works: The 2 sensor wires
must be placed in a tank at a certaindistance (e.g. use a drinking cup). Fillup the tank with a conducting liquid(e.g. water) until the level reachesboth sensor wires. A small current
will flow via R2 towards the base ofT2. The base is protected againstinterference with a resistor R1.
T1 & T2 are configured as a Darlington switch hence only a very small current is neededto make T1 conduct and activate the alarm sound.

(brown black yellow gold), 3 x red LED, 3x BC547 transistor, 3x10µF electrolytic capaci-tor, 2x wire jumper
This circuit makes each LED light up shortly in succession. The circuit consists of 3 identicalchannels. It is theoretically possible to expand; per LED a similar circuit is needed in serieswith the previous. The capacitor of the next channel is charged when the transistor of the
previous channel is not conducting. As long as a certain transistor is not conducting, the rele-vant LED will light up. Capacitor C4 is added to the circuit to create a certain starting condi-tion when connecting power and to ensure a good operation.
Time to experiment: What happens when you change the value of R1, R2 and R3 to 10K?
