Battery (1 × 9V) — Power source
Wires (4–6) — Connections
LED (1) — Indicator light
Resistor (variable, nose mechanism) — Resistance changes with nose length
Switch (1) — Controls circuit
Pinocchio figure — Toy housing
Formula: R = ρ (L / A)
As Pinocchio’s nose lengthens (L), resistance increases.
Higher resistance → lower current → LED dims.
Moral link: “Longer lies weaken the light of truth.”
Battery → Switch → Nose resistor → LED → Back to battery

This project explores the theme of truth through Pinocchio's story, integrating design elements like a toy layout featuring a nose, LED, battery, and switch. It demonstrates circuit principles by tracing the flow from battery to LED, explaining resistance with the formula R = ρ(L/A), and illustrating how a longer nose results in lower current and a dimmer light. The project culminates in a demonstration where participants act out the consequences of lying, reinforcing the message that honesty...
