Paper Circuits Introduction

Soldering paper circuits is althogether a different experience than traditional soldering. If soldering on a free body,

such as soldering two wires together, one does not have two worry about burning the surface. When soldering electrical

components onto a ciruit board, one must be careful not to damage components. However, when soldering on paper, one must

use extreme caution to not allow molten tin to come in contact with the paper and cause a fire. Luckily this never happened.

Despite the possible calamaties that could occur with soldering the circuits, the rest of the project was rather straightforward

and fun. It introduced the idea of how a circuit worked with those unfamiliar with them, and introduced a new concept to those

who were. Constructing the circuit with copper tape provided a straightforward way of displaying how current will flow across

a circuit, and how one must be designed to ensure electricity will flow continuously through it. Calculating the circuit load

allowed us to understand power used by a circuit and the power offered by a battery. It also demonstrated that each manufacturer

creats products that offer a different properties despite them appering the same such as batteries with different mAh.

Overall the project was an insightful introduction into circuitry and soldering and was fun all at once.
