List of Components: Components Working or Function

This document summarizes the components used to build a simple touch switch circuit using a 2BC547 transistor. It includes: - A 2BC547 transistor to amplify current and enable switching; resistors including a 270ohm and 100kohm to control current flow; an LED to emit light when the circuit is activated. - A breadboard to build and test the circuit; and breadboard connectors to connect the power supply. Touching two wires connected to the transistor's collector and base activates the circuit, amplifying a small current over 200 times to glow the LED. Photos show the assembled circuit with LED glowing upon touch.

Working or Function
Transistor amplifies current. It
can be used with other
components to make an
amplifier or switching circuit.
The main Function of resistors
in a circuit is to control the
flow of current to other
components
An LED is a semiconductor
device that emits visible light
when an electric current
passes through it. The light is
not particularly bright but in
most LEDs it is
monochromatic at a single
wavelength.
A breadboard is used to build
and test circuits quickly
before finalizing any circuit
design. The breadboard has
many holes into which
component like ICS and
resistor can be inserted
It Simply connects holes of
Breadboard

INTRODUCTION
A touch switch is an electronic device that enables us to control
a circuit by simply touching two wires. A simple touch circuit
using 2BC547 transistor is given here. Here, we need two
resistors R1=270ohm and R2=100 Kohm. LED is used and
connected to the breadboard. 6v power supply is needed to
glow LED and with the help of breadboard connectors power
supply can be connected.

Detail of Components
BC547
BC547 is an NPN bi polar junction transistor. A transistor, stands
for transfer of resistance, is commonly is used to amplify
current. A small current at its case controls a larger current at
collector and emitters terminals.
BC547 is mainly is used for amplification and switching
purposes. It has a maximum current gain of 800. Its equivalent
transistor are BC548 and BC547.
Resistor
A resistor is a passive two terminal electrical component that
implements electrical resistance as a circuit element. In
electronic circuit resistors are used to reduce current flow,
adjust signal levels. To divide voltages, bias active elements
and terminate transmission lines, among other uses.
LED
An LED lamp is a light emitting diode product which is produced
assembled into a lamp for use in lightning fixtures. LED lamps
have a lifespan and electrical efficiency which are several times
greater than incandescent lamps and are significantly more
efficient than most fluorescing lamp.

Working
When we touch two metallic wires the current flows from 100
Kohm resistor to the base of first transistor, which get amplified
and gets to the vase of second transistor and again gets

amplified and sends to the LED. Here the tiny current that is
passing through gets magnified about 200*200 times than the
second transistor and first transistor, which is again second to
LED. SO whenever metallic wire is touched, it starts glowing.

Construction
For construction we need 2BC547 transistor, two resistor, LED,
Breadboard, Breadboard connector and 6v power supply.
Place both the transistor on breadboard. Now connect the base
of second transistor to the emitter of first transistor. Now place
the LED on breadboard with the positive relay and ve terminal
will be connected to the emitter og second transistor vis 270
ohm resistor. Now place the resistor 100 kohm resistor between
the collector of the first transistor and the positive bread.
Now connect the emitter of the transistor to the ground.
Finally we need two metallic wire. First connect with collector of
first transistor and other to the vase of first transistor.

Conclusion
It is used in various application because of its quick response. It
is very quick and simple.
