Jumper wires (generic)

Resistor 221 ohm

Breadboard (generic)

<p >This project is taken from the book "Arduino Projects Book" of the Starter Kit. These two switches are in parallel. This means that the electrical current is split between them. If either switch is pressed, the LED will light up. Arduino is just the power source for this circuit</p><div class="se-component se-video-container __se__float-none" contenteditable="false" style="width: 100%;"><figure style="width: 100%; height: 56.25%; padding-bottom: 56.25%; margin: 0px;"><iframe frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TWkfNZjjdQE" data-proportion="true" data-percentage="100%,56.25%" data-size="100%,56.25%" data-align="none" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;" data-index="0" data-file-size="0" data-origin="100%,56.25%"></iframe><figcaption contenteditable="true"><div>Parallel Circuit</div></figcaption></figure></div><p ></p>
