LED
Provide power to your circuit including battery packs, coin cells (CR2032 often used in hobby projects) and solar cells. Also includes usb power cables and adaptors that plug into the mains. There is always a positive terminal and a negative terminal of a battery.
Power sources
Used to connect and disconnect the circuit in a controllable way
