Buzzer alarm circuit with push button switch

What it does:

The Buzzer goes off when you press the push button switch. This simple circuit demonstrates how a push button can control current flow.

Components Needed:

  1. Buzzer (1)
  2. Push Button Switch (1)
  3. 10Ω Resistor (1)
  4. Battery (1)
  5. Breadboard (1)
  6. Jumper Wires

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Place the Buzzer on the breadboard (long leg = anode, short leg = cathode).
  2. Connect one end of the 10Ω resistor to the anode of the Buzzer.
  3. Place the push button switch across the center gap of the breadboard.
  4. Connect the free end of the resistor to one terminal of the push button.
  5. Connect the positive terminal of the battery to the other terminal of the push button.
  6. Connect the Buzzer cathode to the negative battery terminal.
  7. Press the button to sound the Buzzer.

How It Works:

  • When you press the button, it closes the circuit and allows current to flow from the battery, through the resistor, the buzzer, and back to the battery.
  • The buzzer goes off because it gets the required current.
  • When you release the button, the circuit opens, and the buzzer stops.
