1๐ Understanding Polarity โโ
When working with the electronics, it’s important to understand polarity to ensure your components work correctly. The red wire is positive, and the black wire is negative for both the battery and the buzzer. For LEDs, the longer pin is positive, and the shorter pin is negative. Properly aligning these connections will keep your projects running smoothly and efficiently.

2๐ Stay Safe with Batteries! ๐ฆบ
When working with batteries, it's super important to be careful! Never touch the battery terminals (the metal parts) or the positive and negative wires together because it can cause a short circuit. This can make the battery get very hot and even explode! Always handle batteries with dry hands and keep them away from water.
