We saw that we can use water as resistor to connect transistor’s base pin to battery positive. How about using your own body ? after all you are 60% water !
Using this idea, can you design and build a working model of a Touch LED circuit, where you can make the LED glow by just your touch ! Demo this circuit in the next session.
Below is a sample demo of such circuit and a tip on building touch sensor.

Transistors
For what resistance value, does the mid-point voltage (in controller circuit) become 0.7 V ? (Use potentiometer to find that out)Note: Disconnect the controller circuit from the main circuit (base of transistor) before measuring the mid-point voltage otherwise the transistor will interfere with measurement.
Circuit diagram referred in the video is given below. (Note: if you don’t have the exact value of resistors then use any resistor where the 3rd band is of the color indicated in the diagram)

Circuit Diagram Challenge
We learnt how to fine-tune the improved morning wake-up alarm circuit, so that it triggers at say 6:30am in the morning. Draw the Circuit diagram of the final circuit (with controller and main circuit combined). Also draw circuit diagram of individual circuits (controller circuit and main circuit separately).
