ABSTRACT
Many a times we need certain actions to be done with a touch instead of
pressing a button. This simple circuit does that using minimal components.
COMPONENTS REQUIRED
2 BC547 (or any other npn transistors)
Resistors: 270 Ohm, 100 KOhm
LED
Breadboard Connectors
Breadboard
6V Power Supply
Circuit Diagram
Working
The purpose of this project is to trigger/switch an LED with a simple touch.
The skins resistance is about 600K-1M. So if you try building a circuit with just
an LED, power supply and touch conductors, the LED doesn’t glow. This is
because, high skin’s resistance prevents enough current to flow through the
circuit. So the only option we have is to amplify the tiny current flowing
through the skin to a magnitude enough for an LED to glow. For that purpose,
we have to use transistors. The circuit will also work with just one transistor,
but the LED doesn’t glow bright enough. So we have used two.
Tiny electric current flows through the skin when the end touch conductors
are touched. This tiny current is amplified in magnitude by the first and
second transistors and it finally passes through the LED. Refer to the circuit
diagram for better understanding.
