Uses and function of breadboard

Answer 1

A breadboard, being a reusable solderless circuit board with electrical contacts arranged in rows and columns has many uses, depending on the user.

Having electrical contacts build into the board in this way significantly reduces the number of wires one would have used without the aid of a circuit board, thus simplifying a potentially messy collection of electronics into a neatly arranged circuit.

Components are inserted across tracks, and tracks may be joined with wires if required.

Typically, a breadboard is used to build a temporary circuit - since no soldering is required, so a circuit can be assembled and disassembled quickly and easily.

This makes it an excellent piece of equipment in a school laboratory, where students can expand their practical knowledge of electronics by building circuits from a schematic diagram or other.

It may also be used by professionals, who wish to test components, or certain arrangements when designing or building more complex circuits.
