Create a Magnetic On/Off Circuit DIY Tutorial #shorts #diyprojects

If you are looking to create a simple magnetic switch using a reed switch, here is a basic guide to help you get started:

**Materials Needed:**
1. Reed switch
2. Small magnet
3. Electrical wires
4. Battery or power source
5. LED (optional for testing)

**Instructions:**
1. Connect one end of the reed switch to one terminal of the battery/power source.
2. Connect the other end of the reed switch to one terminal of the LED (if using for testing purposes).
3. Connect the other terminal of the LED to the other terminal of the battery/power source to complete the circuit.
4. Place the reed switch close to the magnet. When the magnet is near the reed switch, the switch will close and complete the circuit, turning on the LED (if connected).
5. Remove the magnet to break the magnetic field and open the reed switch, turning off the LED.

**How It Works:**
Reed switches consist of two metal blades sealed in a glass tube filled with inert gas. When a magnet is brought close to the reed switch, the magnetic field causes the metal blades to come into contact, closing the switch. This can be used to control circuits, such as turning on lights or other electrical devices.

Feel free to experiment with different configurations and applications for your magnetic reed switch. If you need more detailed guidance, you can find tutorials and videos online, including DIY projects on YouTube that demonstrate how to create and use magnetic switches.
